Hi everyone
I have been invited to have a booster COVID vaccination because I have a weakened immune system, I have recently completed my course of chemotherapy. I was wondering if anyone else has has one and how they felt afterwards. I have had all my previous vaccinations prior to cancer diagnosis.
Also, as I said I have recently completed chemotherapy about one month ago, I have noticed that I feel quite tired, I have a good nights sleep, even when I wake up I could sleep on, and I feel tired during the day. If I do a bit of exercise like a walk and some housework the following day I usually feel even more tired.
I’m just wondering if this was the way it effected others, after their treatment was finished. I know everybody can have different reactions.
Thanks and I wish you all well

Hi Ange
The fatigue lingered for me for some months. I still get the odd day 18 months post treatment. It's about pacing yourself and doing a little bit at a time. My bloods took a few months to recover as well.
I had my covid jabs regularly but postponed the one I was offered during chemo. I had one around 6 months later and was ok after it.
Maybe check with your CNS about the covid vaccine and when it is the best time to have it. I believe you are having radiotherapy so timing may be important. I know with the covid immunisations, once they identify you as weakened immune system, the letters come automatically.
