What antiviral medication is right for people with blood cancer?

Thank you for your response.
I am just asking to know should he become infected what would be available as I seem to recall hearing blood thinners contraindicate Paxlovid, and the concern for rebound infection.
The oncologist seems to feel he has Marginal Zone B Cell Lymphoma at this time; however, I still have questions.
I will follow-up with the MYD88.
Thank you again

It’s really a great idea to have a plan. Don’t hesitate to give a call to his doctors so it’s lined up ahead of time ‘just in case’. I’m sure they have patients asking all the time because of reaction with some blood thinners. Hopefully it won’t ever be needed or an issue, but it’s better to be on the safe side. ☺️
It’s good to keep asking questions and I’m interested in the MY88 findings too, so let me know what you find out if you don’t mind. Like I mentioned it is a normal gene. But if it develops a mutation which causes it to stray from its normal function, that’s where the body runs into trouble.
