Waiting Well at Home
The condition of your home environment can impact your overall health and recovery from treatment. Poor conditions such as poor air quality, dampness, mold, lack of cleanliness and inadequate heating or ventilation can weaken the immune system, worsen respiratory conditions and impact your recovery.
It’s important to have a clean and safe living environment not just for preparing for treatment but also for your recovery.
