Donna. Your answer is correct. The vaccines don’t have any live virus, or for that matter not even dead virus in them. Talk to you Dr. before making this type of decision.

To each his own. Wearing an n95 mask all the time isn't very realistic. The Covid vaccines aren't perfect, but they did keep me out of the hospital when I did get Covid. I do agree that the vaccines might cause a temporary spike in myeloma labs. But, I don't believe the vaccines actually cause myeloma. Most myeloma specialists agree that we should be vaccinated for Covid and the flu. Since we actually die from infections more than the myeloma itself.

It isn’t Covid that ruined your immune system, or any vaccine. What ruined our immune systems is the Multiple Myeloma.

My team at Penn put me on a low dose anti viral med. It appears to be forever .
I just had my first treatment on Friday 13th and i am feeling good.

My plan is to self isolate for the 5 weeks of treatments. I bought lots of N95 masks with valves. Really easy to breathe through.

I had the first 2 Covid shots. 3 months after that second shot, i suffered a splatter stroke.
Hospitalized 3 days. No cause could be found.
The only damage i can see is that i must often think to use the correct words.
My primary, cardiologist, neurologist all 3 believed that the 2nd Covid shot caused my stroke.
Furthermore, my cardiologist advised no more covid shots. He studied that each addition Covid shot lowered your immune system.

No future Covid, flu, or Monkey Pox for my husband and me.

Do your research. Make up your own mind.

May God guide you on your journey. Stay positive.

Your doctor will schedule it after stem cell therapy or your rest time through chemo. Make sure you tell the nurse about your cancer treatments.
