@gingerw Did you get tested for antibodies? My transplant team will not put a lab order for the test, they say there are many other things that influence immunity but I did get my PCP to put one in for me. I am going on Monday for the test so I should a couple of days after that.

It may not tell everything but it does tell some of the story. I would rather know some than none.

@contentandwell I go this coming Thurs on 9/30 for labwork for nephrology, and had my PCP also put in lab order for antibody test. On my next oncology appt I will confirm with Dr. Y about getting my flu shot [I usually get it as soon as it is available!] Yeppers, real curious what the antibody levels will be. They say some multiple myeloma patients do not have the levels of antibodies the medical community would like to see.
