They have arranged my appointment same date at Perth Royal Infimary Hosp another town. Because of the cov-19 restrictions.

    my infusions stopped because I had 2 chest infections at once, If I was you I would speak too your consultant. they may be able too get you too a closer hospital but like you said. there are a lot of precautions an restrictions for your safety. so it maybe a problem as your mental health prevents longer distance travelling or however it may effect you. the closest hospital that's safe for you too use may be in Perth 😦 Speak too your own doctor as they know you and understand your health more than most doctors
