This is a follow up to a previous post. My twin sister got a disappointing lab result today from LabCorp’s SARS Cov-2 Semi Quantitative Total Antibody - Spike Test: 164090. (Lab report result attached) There were no detectable antibodies. She waited two weeks post 2nd jab before getting the antibody test. Her score was <.4 and to be positive for antibodies you need >.79.
She takes a daily low dose of Ibrutinib and 6 months ago she finished a 6 month treatment of prednisone (for a few weeks) and Rituximab for her CLL complication of AIHA. I read that it takes 6 months post last treatment for your immune system to begin to return to normal and a year post last treatment to get your immune system back to where it was prior to treatment.
We are trying to find tests that measure the T cell response to the vaccine to see if she has any protection at all. Still hunting for this test. If anyone knows of a good one, please let us know
I’ll continue to post as I get more info.
Stay healthy! Be safe!
