I'm 10 years WW with unmutated, treatment looming with 192 WBC, enlarged spleen and 9.8 hemoglobin, also IVgs in the toilet. My question is about IVgs and flu shot, etc. I am concerned that the lung congestion is related to allergens, because the IG that normally handles that is low. I wonder how this will affect my response to the flu shot? I hope this makes sense. So glad to have a place to go with my questions, thanks all!

Its tricky...and best left to your CLL specialist when you find one... you have a whole bunch going on, so consult before the flu shot, would be my layman's approach.

Hi debralyn,
In your posting last week you were searching for a new CLL expert in Ohio, Boston or New Orleans, and several good suggestions were offered. You may want to use the 2nd opinion route to "window shop" for a new CLL expert that is more caring and a better communicator than your current expert.

Your question about flu shots and autoimmune/allergy complications would be an excellent subject to test the candidates if their skills and style match your needs.
