I have posted several times that for most people the flu shots are useless because only two or three strains of flu are in the shots. There are hundreds of different strains of flu that are not protected. It is a very remote chance that the popular flu for the year is indeed in the vaccine. The immediate reaction to the flu shot will immediately be felt by the patient. Doctors follow their guidelines and always advise patients to take the flu shots. Ask these doctors whether they themselves got flu shots and you will be surprised to learn that only a few actually took the flu shots.
Again, the immediate side effects of chemo and radiation are definite problems for the patients. These treatments, though warranted in many cases, are to be seriously weighed against the negative aspects. Many times, the strongest treatments do not mean the best treatments.
