Spring covid booster while on Amebaciclib

I also have booked my COVID booster and wonder if I should have

Hi Mibby, I’m not on amebaciclib so I can’t answer about covid booster with that drug. I think the best person to ask would be your oncologist or breast care nurse. They should be able to advise when the best time for a covid booster would be. 
When I was on chemo I was advised to have my covid booster just before I was due to start my next chemo session when my blood cells would have been boosted more.

Hi F1 petrolhead, it’s great you have booked your covid booster, but if you are unsure about it check with your oncologist or breast care nurse as they will be able to advise when the best time during your treatment is to have it.

Thanks Cuffcake, I’m on a break from Abemaciclib until Wednesday week due to bad side effects.  Maybe it could be a good idea to get the covid jab whilst on this break.  I hate bothering the oncology nurses but I think you are right, I should get in touch. Best wishes to you xx

Interesting what you say about having it just before next cycle. I have mine booked for next Saturday and next cycle is following Thursday.. I will check with nurses when I go for line flush this week

Hi, I had a booster last year while taking abemaciclib, no problems, oncologist glad I had had it 

• Hi Kitty, Hope you’re doing good.   Thanks for that, it gives me confidence.   I’m on a break and due to go on 50mg twice a day in the hope of increasing again.   Have had a bad time with 150mg then a bad cold and cough.  Feeling better now so hope I can tolerate the restart.   Never been so indecisive about things in all my life.  Best wishes to you.

It's not easy hen on different drugs, I double checked it was OK to have the booster, I worry that I am going to have something horrible happen lol 

Sorry to hear you have been unwell. Hope you get on better with the lower dose. I've just started on 100mg twice a day to see if the fatigue & diarrhoea will improve

Best wishes x 

I’m pleased they agreed to reduce it for you after all.  I hope you tolerate it better.  I didn’t want to hear it as I’ve suspected it for some time but the last oncology appointment the word high risk was muted. I’m a head in the sands type so wanted to avoid hearing that.   
Anyway, fingers crossed for you that you do well on 100mg.  Best wishes. Xx 

Funnily enough I had to get myself in the priority list via my GP and being on Abemiciclib is what entitles me to get the spring booster as that’s the thing making me vulnerable.
