I am intersted to know how many of you are in active treatment and are going to or have gotten the H1N1 vaccine--and why or why not.

I'll start:

currently on Gemzar/Zometa

Undecided

Am worried about the risks involved with the vaccine itself

----------------------------

Please note that all stages are welcome to answer. I am most interested in those who are in active tx right now, but all are welcome to participate!

I am having a flu right now and got it from my son. Just got home from er and asked them to do  test. Will get the results in a few days. I asked my nurse about the flu shot last week, but no answer. Right now, I am on Herceptin and waiting for the delayed chemo that may be given next week.

I got the regular flu shot, the pnumonia shot, and the h1n1. Couldn't really tell you why, just made that choice. I've gotten the regular flu shot for as long as I can remember and don't get sick. I figured it can't be that different.

I recieved the regular flu shot along with my Neulasta shot on October 20.  Am on TC x 6.

Last Thursday (11/5), I had the H1N1 shot.  My onco recommended it but they did not receive supply in their office yet so I had it done at local pharmacy/drugstore.

No problems at all - knock on wood!  Smile
