I have just got over having Shingles and have now been offered the jab for it.
Two people i know have had the jab, and had a bad reaction with it, and landed up in A and E and was put on steroids. so i am having second thoughts.
Neither of them had cancer.
Was wondering if anyone on site has taken it up, with no problems.

Chemo is a poussin as my oncologist told me.
Immunotherapy is not, it is to jump start your own, immune system, to recognize you have a foreign body with in it, and fight it., do not get me wrong, comes with side effects of their own, but was so much kinder for me than chemo.
You can only ask why, i do know when and if mine decides to grown, i will be on a target therapy, i have asked my Oncologist.
Hope this helps to understand are you just on the one chemo now, like a maintence as they call it.
