I have stage 4 breast cancer in my lungs and spine, Doing well taking Palbociclib with letrozole, monthly denosumab. I had the Moderna Spikevax last week and I think it triggered a stomach upset which went on all week. This was my third Moderna and I have had unpleasant reactions each time but this was the worst. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I am not sure that I want to have another one.
Hi MaCa
I also had the Moderna Covid vaccine (plus a flu jab) last Thursday. I've not had any obvious reaction to it until (possibly) yesterday/today (4-5 days after the jab) when I've had a dodgy stomach. It's not been too bad, just slightly loose and more frequent.
I'm in week 3 of chemo (ie should be my 'good' week) but they've just told me my white cells are low so I need extra Filgrastim jabs to boost my resistance. I assumed the stomach upset might be due to an infection (though my temperature is OK), but perhaps its related to the Covid jab.
