Can I start chemo for small cell lung cancer if I'm covid positive and why was I not tested or asked to vacc during my hospital stay 2 weeks ago?
Is the vaccination safe for a patient with smuggling multiple myeloma who is on no treatment and does the vaccine will affect the cancerous plasma cells
My sister has been receiving chemotherapy for many years. She today tested positive for Covid 19 today . She is not vaccinated. She says she's very weak and tired. Her roommate is very sick with Covid too. Should they be in the hospital?
I have Follicular Lymphoma cancer, my immune system is compromised - I would probably have a very bad reaction to the Vaccine and be worse off.
