Also delaying the second dose seems to be paying off and the death rate in the 80 plus group from covid has plummeted. Our schools have just started to filter back so I expect a bit of a rise with that but it’s been so encouraging to see the numbers come down . How is the vaccination program going ...

So both myself and my sons got the AstraZeneca vaccine. Was surprised to feel quite ill for 24 hours . My parents had the same one and were fine . Anyway just grateful to have it and there is talk of a third top up in Autumn. The Strain identified in Brazil has arrived in Scotland but contained jus...

Thanks for that update info.
They are leaving up to 4 months between doses as a new "plan" here and I am 100 % against that idea even for non cancer patients

Correct you are buddy !!!! Congrats ! The sub-populations who "may" not respond as per clinical trial cohorts are ALSO problematic, so thank you for bringing that up as well. I understand that real world data IS what is needed for vaccine follow ups BUTT .... The practice of delaying the s...

NoVA21 I won't hijack this topic BUTT ... Thank You You have just detailed some of the most important points I have been ranting about since 2008 !!!!! I am lucky that my CEA is a reliable indicator for me. But I heard that is not always the case for everyone. It is USELESS for me ! :twisted: :roll...

Just to add on another bit of info : I was originally offered FOLFOX adjuvant chemo but declined in favor of just Xeloda (capecitabine), as the increased efficacy was quoted to be only 3-5% at that time. When I had a recurrence I chose to add Oxaliplatin to infusional 5-FU ( FOLFOX ) as I had not do...
