Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hi everybody, I know this subject was discussed several times here but I could use a refresher. I am flying to France Saturday for 20 days vacations with my mom, brother, his wife and two little angels. But angel #1 just got a chickenpox assault, skin lesions started yesterday. Angel #2 has a fair chance to get it also. I was supposed to babysit her from Sunday to Thursday but that obviously won't happen, although I ll be in contact with my mother who is nursing her right now. Thursday next week we all be going to a ski resort and then I will be in contact with both of my nephews. I dunno if I ever got chickenpox, my brother tested negative so I am not too optimistic about that, and I got a blood draw to check it this morning, I ll know Friday. When I told my 2 oncs (the one from here and the one in Paris) they had slightly divergent opinions. The one in Paris (cml specialist) recommends getting a vaccine if the test is negative and says there is no contraindication (my blood counts are normal, wbc 4.2, anc 2.7). The onc from kaiser says I shouldn't get the vaccine even if the test is negative. Now I am a bit in a corner, I am not going to cancel my trip but would like to have some sane plan of action.
