“CONCLUSIONImmune responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are modestly impaired in patients with cancer. These data suggest utility of antibody testing to identify patients for whom additional vaccine doses may be effective and appropriate, although larger prospective studies are needed.”

Says it all for me..Now triple-Vaxxed, with no side effects, and continued progress w scans and lower PSA #. Immune response is difficult to know, other than I have not been sick. I do take 81mg St Jo aspirin, and every other day Nattokinase, both to prevent clotting issues.

The old sayings are: Put your oars in the water if you want to get them wet and wet birds don't fly at night.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
