Leslie,

I too had the pneumonia shot and flu shot. I woke up Thursday morning with a temperature of 101.6 and it was my day to get chemo -- every Thursday is chemo day! They did chest Xray which showed pneumonia so I was unable to get my chemo but did get Herceptin. They also took blood to do cultures to make sure I don't have a blood infection of some sort. Feel a little better today. Make sure you call your doctor Monday and get your throat checked.
