What to do if i have seen cancer children wearing masks for their mouth and nose. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
THEIR OWN PROTECTION: Children with cancer, especially those currently undergoing treatments, are more susceptible to the common afflictions that we deal with every day. Ergo, to protect them from common viruses from visitors, family, and staff, they wear masks. Good question.
