Vaccination

[Grad99]

3 weeks after 3rd vaccination had antibody test and my numbers are in excess of 2,500 - have a little more confidence now

[NaderE]

Great. After my third shot my antibody test is negative, no antibodies. Somewhat discouraging but thankful and learning to live with the mask.

[SlowCLL in reply to NaderE]

To give a prospective to your comment, where are you in CLL progression, compromised immune system, or treatment?

[NaderE in reply to SlowCLL]

After being a marathon runner, I was diagnosed with B-PLL in Oct 2017 by a physician in Augusta GA. I was started on Ibrutinib which helped me for a couple of years, but then it was no longer effective. I visited Sloan in NYC in Feb 2020 where I was accepted in the LOXO trial. As of my last visit all my #s are or near perfect except for the low hemoglobin and an enlarged spleen. The enlarged spleen is due to CLL and the vaccine. Nader

[bennevisplace in reply to Grad99]

Thanks for that. Best wishes.

[bennevisplace in reply to Grad99]

Thanks. Like several other providers, TDL uses the reputable Roche Elecsys semi-quantitative spike antibody test.

Sorry to hear of these troubles besetting you and your family. It must be very stressful all round.

That's great. 🎉 I have same results. I am able to get out & enjoy more.

[Jamyang]

That's so great to hear I'm so pleased for you. Do you live in uk ?

Nhs say I should have a 3rd vaccine but I can't get it anywhere!.

Where did you get yours.

Thanks

[Lizlashley1 in reply to Jamyang]

I'm the same!!!!! My hospital even wrote to my GP insistingvi get my booster soon but still no booster!! Last night sajid javid was questioned about how come the blood cancer group haven't been able to get theirs....he didn't really answer!!!

[Grad99 in reply to Jamyang]

My GP called me

[jendur in reply to Jamyang]

Exactly, going slightly crazy! Numerous phone calls, emails and e-messaging to GP with evidence to back up that I should be getting the 3rd primary vaccine, letter from consultant asking them to refer me... nothing. Booster due next month. Why is it so difficult when they are begging other people to get it?

[Grad99 in reply to Jamyang]

My GP called me

[Annie1920]

Wow that's good.. Sadly mine were negative after 3x jabs but I'm on OV and I didn't expect much effect.. That was the UK nhs test which is spike and neucleocapsid test.. Luckily my gp did respond to phone call and I was offered one the day after I phoned and directly I got two invitations from health authority to go for 3rd jab.. Still v chaotic.. Just heard on radio that severely immunocompromised should be invited by hospital team (BMA spokesman on radio 4)
