Flu Vaccine

It’s that time of the year with flu season coming up. I had planned to have flu shot before starting radiotherapy . I made enquiries with breast care nurse if I should go ahead and get vaccine. My information was if I had a flu shot it could be a problem if my lymph nodes were swollen the radiotherapy may be delayed. I will now not get flu vaccine until after radiotherapy. Hope this info helps.

    Kabaz​ Thank you for sharing the information you've been given.

    Flu vaccine is on my question lists for when I see my GP and medical oncologist in the next few weeks. I'm hoping they say it's okay for me to get vaccinated.
