3 days after 2nd Pfizer & with cancer chemo [View all]

Just an FYI for everyone, from someone who has underlying conditions and wanted to share my experience, with the CoVid shots and with the longer-term effects of my cancer treatments.

In a summary, my chemo effects are the issue. I cannot tell if the CoVid shots are really overwhelming anything the cancer treatments are producing. I have had pancreatic cancer since March 15, 2019... Yes, the Ides of March date. Go figure!

My first dose was painless and no side effects. The 2nd dose on Sat, well I do feel fatigue and more nausea...
but that could be my chemo.
I don't have any injection soreness, tenderness or bruising.
I have nausea, but that is certainly associated with the chemo and hasn't increased since my 2nd CoVid dose.




Get the shots. If I am an example of what to do, I took a big risk getting them and am very glad I did.


Update 2/25: I have deep bone ache. Lower right back and right leg. No cancer related symptoms that aren't being treated. Quite sore and a bit unstable walking. I can endure this type of pain. will update in a few days.
