Covid vaccine & breast cancer: Are you getting it ASAP or waiting?

Posted by rraw @rraw, Mar 28, 2021

Is everyone taking the vaccine ASAP or are some of you waiting to see how other breast cancer patients in active treatment are responding? No right or wrong answer, I just want to hear your perspectives.

I have had both of the Pfizer shots. I am currently taking Anastrozole, but am on a three week break to see if the muscle aches and joint pain improve. After the second shot I had terrible body aches, that was two months ago and while they have improved, I am still suffering with a very painful knee and inflammation. The doctor admitted he has seen extended reactions to the vaccine, but not as long as two months. I am hoping this all clears up soon. Getting COVID was not a better option.

Rraw, I believe @staciej was writing tongue in cheek when she said "Thanks for reading my book." with a smile emoji. I think she meant that she has written a long-ish post and was referring to it as a book.
