It’s what ALL of us here collectively are good at. I found great help solace and info on this site when I was first diagnosed. There are lots of people here with experience and common sense. It’s a dark hole we fall into at the start. This community is a ray of light sorely needed at that time.
Good luck Yinyoga and never despair. There’s always somebody around to watch your back and put you straight.

Good evening Turi, i have not heard of anyone being told not to have a flu jab prior to treatment, i would have thought it would be of benefit to have it done as flu is the last thing you need during recovery, i think your head nurse will know the answer , so if you are allowed then go for it. Good luck for the future, all the best.
