Thoughts on flu vaccine.
Many many years ago I had a flu vaccine and days later had tonsillitis. I have never had one again. Over the years I have seen clients of mine have bad colds and flu following their shots. As I'm self...

I had so many colds/coughs in the 6 months leading up to my diagnosis in Jan ... most of them going to my chest and needing antibiotics. :( I was in bed for days for some of them.
I had the flu shot last week cos I dont want to get the flu. My arm really hurt for a few days ... my GP suggested I check with my Onc before giving it - and the Onc said, it was fine as it was not a live one. My husband has always opted NOT to have the shot following his chemo in 2010 and has never caught it .... But we don’t have kids or Grand kids either .... which is often where you get the infections from (or from the handles of shopping trolleys, I reckon, at super markets, airports etc!)
Good luck to all of us, whether you’ve had the shot or not .... I hope no-one gets it!!
