I have been told not to get the covid vaccination while getting my Chemo treatment. Anyone getting the same instructions? What happens if I do take it?
I checked with my oncologist before I had my vaccine and he said to go ahead and have it. I had both shots with no side effects. I was on CHEMO at the time. You sure don’t want to catch COVID.

I assume it is the same for ppl with NHL watch and wait? Or are there additional precautions against infection, beyond the normal precautions, specifically related to cancer? Thanks
I find the watch and wait so hard. For me is like playing with a loaded gun, the problem is that you do not know really what the caliber is going to be. I just finished treatment for a FL Grade 2… read more

Anyone been through this before? I’ve heard even testing the spleen cells can be inconclusive. What gives in this situation?
