Does anyone have lymphoma and no measles immunity?

A recommendation to get the measles shot popped up in my medical system's app. In July 2024, my scan showed a minor recurrence of nodal marginal zone lymphoma. Fortunately, I found out that the tumors shrank between my July 2024 and July 2025 scans. I have an appointment with PCP next week and will be asking him about whether it's worth it. I don't know if I have immunity at this point.
Vaccine Experience Post Immuno Therapy/Chemo
I received the Pfizer covid shot in 2021. It kicked off my B-cell symptoms that led to my diagnosis. I already had some symptoms, swollen lymph nodes that waxed and waned, and occasional minor weight loss. But the vaccine turned up the volume. However, I've had other vaccines post-treatment, covid, flu, and shingles without any side effects. So, I'm open to at least hearing about getting the vaccine.

I had a diagnosis of Primary Cutaneous Extra-nodal Marginal Zone lymphoma B-Cell non-hodkins cancer which totally blew my mind. It was out of the blue. Totally unexpected. I had a small red dot which appeared on my forehead. It didn’t go away? I was mystified. I thought it’s a pimple. It began to very slowly grow. In 2022 it was a small red nodule (like a spot but rock hard) with a target 🎯 like circle ⭕️ around it. I was told by 3 Consultants it was a basal cell carcinoma and nothing whatsoever to worry about. I asked for MOHs Surgery which they refused me as they said it was completely unnecessary. And they delayed 9 months approximately before they excised it. They actually asked me if I would agree to a nurse excising it and I refused this. Then 4 months after it was excised they telephoned to call me back into the hospital and informed me the biopsy results had come back and it was not a basal cell carcinoma at all!! It was a Primary cutaneous extra-nodal marginal zone B-Cell lymphoma non-Hodgins cancer. I too believe it was the Covid-19 Pfizer shots which kicked off my B-Cell symptoms. I had NO SYMPTOMS beforehand. My symptoms were tiredness/exhaustion and the visible small tumour on my forehead. Last year I stopped boosters for Covid-19, and flu shots. I will not be going for the shingles vaccine either. I have stopped all vaccines. I have been told it was indolent? I’m praying very hard. I’ve had nothing since. I am on watch and wait and blood tests. I have had no x-rays or scans. Was yours a Primary cutaneous extra-nodal marginal zone B-Cell lymphoma non-hodkins cancer?
