Guest guest Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Dear Bobby, I'll bet that Dr. Talpaz didn't want you to take the shingles shot because it's a live vaccine. You've probably got a suppressed immune system. Pat wants to get the shingles shot too but can't get it because I've got a suppressed immune system. I can't be around kids that get the live vaccines for about 21 days.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 are there not two vaccines? one live, you take through the nose and one that is not live that is a shot???? I think that may be what Dr. T. said, but I will see him Mon. and ask. a ( Bobby ) Doyle, dob 12/17/29 Brecksville, Ohio, USA DX 5/1995 Interferon 9 weeks/Hydroxyurea 5 years o2/2000 to 06/2002 Gleevec trial, OHSU 06/2002 Gleevec/Trisenox Trial, OHSU 06/2003 Gleevec/Zarnestra Trial, OHSU 04/2004 Sprycel Trial, MDACC, CCR in 10 months 04/2008 XL228 Trial, U of Mich.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I heard from my oncologist today and he said there is no reason why I should not get the shingles shot.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I haven't had the shot yet, but plan to get it one day soon. My oncologist said it was OK. I also emailed Dr. Druker and he said it was OK. That said, we are all different. Kathy dx 2003 > > Has anyone had the shingles shot? My primary dr. is suggesting I have it.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I asked Dr. Talpaz today, he did say it was ok to get a shingles shot. He asked why I wanted one, and I said I didn't, others did. a ( Bobby ) Doyle, dob 12/17/29 Brecksville, Ohio, USA DX 5/1995 Interferon 9 weeks/Hydroxyurea 5 years o2/2000 to 06/2002 Gleevec trial, OHSU 06/2002 Gleevec/Trisenox Trial, OHSU 06/2003 Gleevec/Zarnestra Trial, OHSU 04/2004 Sprycel Trial, MDACC, CCR in 10 months 04/2008 XL228 Trial, U of Mich.
