I always wear an N95 mask when flying or in crowded areas (I.e. theatres, arenas, etc.).
Whatever makes you more comfortable. Personally, I am a little more aware in these environments, it’s on my mind at times, especially just after treatment (I’m by-annual) but don’t use any sort of ppe, but then again, wouldn’t say I’ve picked up anymore bugs than before treatment. It’s a personal choice, but I’m in a mindset that life’s for living - what will come will come. Are you currently in treatment or considering options. If not on treatment, your immune system wouldn’t necessarily be reduced, just more potential for flare ups, if you caught anything and immune system kicked in to fight it, or so I understand it.
