    @Fire, speak to your GP if you can and take advice from them.

    My GP is as useless as a chocolate teapot. Clueless. They are the last person I would ask.

    Not a question even a good GP would be able to answer, @Fire. I am not sure it is an answerable question.
    Speaking purely personally, my thinking would be; you are vulnerable, you certainly don't want COVID, or flu, therefore I would be inclined towards having the vaccines ASAP.
    I am regarded as vulnerable and I would have had both vaccines together, if that had been an option.
    Good luck with whatever decision you reach.

    Hi @Fire,

    Just a thought .... it might be worth getting a view from one of the team at Macmillan.
    I'm sure there will have been other patients with a similar concern to yours.

    Yes, I will ask breast nurse, Macmillan and various other cancer advisors who must have been asked this question before. Bodies do have a temporary reaction to jabs - and fire up the immune system for a few days, right? 

    I'm not leaving the house much except to go to the hospital for tests etc, and am being mighty careful, so hopefully my bug risk is pretty low. The jab question is really just a matter of timing - early or late November... I'm off back to Knepp tomorrow for a week - a cabin in the woods.

    @Fire might I suggest that if you have any concerns a telephone call to your surgeon/oncologist who will be able to put your mind at rest.

    The best person to ask is the person who will be interpreting your scan, but I’m not sure if you will be able to contact them easily. Is there a secretary or link nurse?

    Thinking of you going through all that @fire - I hope you have people in your life who you can talk to about it, or distract you, depending on what helps you the most.

    I don't understand. Is there some kind of postcode lottery? I just strolled into the chemist for the flu jab. Ditto to a hub for the Covid vaccine.
