Chemo & Flu Vaccine
I've been reading info on chemo and most of it states that a patient should refrain from live vaccines during treatment. Now with the bird flu scare and just the plain old flu season what is everyone doing? Has anyone's onc either rec'd or not rec'd a flu shot? If you've had a flu shot and are on chemo have you experienced a reaction?
I don't start chemo until 11/4 and will be calling my onc today about getting a flu shot beforehand. Cancer is complicating our lives enough without having to fight the flu as well.
Sorry for all the questions, but there is such a wealth of personal experience here it's hard not to ask.
Best to all!
