I did make that phone call to the hospital and instructions were:
- It's okay to take vaccination for A(H1N1) before the initiation of cancer treatment.
- It's okay to take vaccination for A(H1N1) also during the cancer treatment.
So, I will take up the matter next Tuesday in the treatment meeting. I understood it doesn't affect one way or another, if I take the vaccination now or next week.

You should take the vaccination as soon as possible, because if you have chemo your immune system won't work quite as well and it's less likely your body is able to make adequate antibodies (that is, any vaccines taken when undergoing chemo are less likely to work properly).
VastaaPoistaI would recommend looking into an immunotherapeutic treatment called low dose naltrexone (LDN). I have created a website about it in Finnish: http://ldn.gehennom.org which includes plenty of scientific references. LDN can be combined with all chemotherapy, radiation and pretty much all immunotherapy, the only thing it doesn't go together with is narcotic painkillers (opiates). This treatment is very inexpensive (about 15 euros a month from Yliopiston Apteekki!) and unlikely to cause any side effects. It would also likely boost your quality of life (e.g. reduce fatigue).
Best wishes.
Hei!
VastaaPoistaKiitos kommentistasi, luin sen erittäin kiinnostuneena.
Omassa kotikunnassani rokotusten aikataulu on sellainen, ettei rokotuksen saaminen ole mahdollista ennen ensi tiistaita, ja silloinhan minulla jo onkin hoitokokous sairaalassa. Rokotukset jäävät siis ensi viikkoon ja ehkä ne on mahdollista saada juuri tuossa samaisessa sairaalassa ilman jonotusreissua omaan terveyskeskukseen.
Kiitos vielä. Sivusi ovat mielenkiintoiset ja selkeät.
