They don't usually recommend people receiving chemo get vaccines; with their immunosuppression from the chemo they can't mount a strong response to the vaccine. In fact, a lot of my patients have to be revaccinated.

I know she's still having treatment but I'm curious if they can get the shot while still being treated. My dad still hasn't gotten his shot but his treatments are done (for now and hopefully a long time *fingers crossed*). We can't figure out why he's still not able to make an appt. I'm really glad you got to visit with your sister though! <br /><br />Sounds like a great book actually.

I've had some fun runs and some extremely difficult ones, but have fond memories of them all (well maybe not of the Cloud Snapple Half when it started snowing just after we started and snowed two inches by the time we finished just over two hours later...)<br /><br />We were expecting at least six inches of snow today, but ended with only three and tomorrow's big snow storm appears to be moving north of us. :-(Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673587906852568968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-81833955872581254532021-01-31T18:59:28.736-06:002021-01-31T18:59:28.736-06:00Oh, I heard an interview with Pappas on NPR.

I guess we really can overcome anything, but her comment about having to overcome feeling like your Mom didn’t love you enough to keep living was hard to hear. <br /><br />I’m so glad your sister is doing OK — and that you got to see her. Hopefully she will be ringing that bell soon. <br /><br />Did SJ have a reason why you should stick it out one (or two?) more weeks? Is it just the sense of accomplishment? Her response that it’s almost over doesn’t seem very satisfying.
