Every dr. is different, obviously I'm careful, and had the vet test his poo for 5 or 6 transmitable diseases... No sleeping with the Dog, careful not to get scratched, and no handling dog poo...

As for the sun, since I'm bald now I wear a baseball cap and sunglasses (always have to protect my eyes)...

I asked my doctor, and she said none of the medicine I'm on makes me especially sensitive to the sun... She also noted, it's not as bad as in the spring / summer...

The extreme cold is the worst, and post BMT, most are completely intolerant of temperature extremes... (I begin to gag if it is affecting me)...
