I believe generally that the vaccine is recommended for all OC patients. I had my vaccine 9 days ago, no issues and am on PARP for maintenance after front line. May I ask about the Avastin: were you given it with chemo and as maintenance for 18 and what was your staging? Thankyou and my very best wishes for recovery.
Was given with chemo and taxol then on its own ever 3 weeks. Am on trial ICON 8B and finish next month 25 months in all Thanks for your reply Rosems. Nearly forgot stage 4c oc
I am on a trial and have been told I can have the vaccine. If in doubt though best to check with CNS, oncologist or GP.
No not at all... I have just had jab in week 3 of my chemo cycle... also on steroids for rheumatoid disease. No problems x
