I hope today’s treating you gently. I came across some intriguing research I wanted to share with you, and hear your thoughts on.
A recent study found that in some patients with advanced lung or skin cancer, receiving an mRNA COVID vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy was linked to longer survival compared to those who didn’t get the vaccine during that time. 🧪💉
Researchers think the vaccine may act like a “flare” that helps the immune system respond better to cancer, and some are even exploring whether this could one day help lead to an off-the-shelf cancer vaccine.
🗣️ What about you?
Have you heard of this kind of research before?
Did you get the COVID vaccine while going through cancer treatment?
Do you think vaccines, including mRNA, have a future role in cancer care?
How do you feel when you hear about studies like this: hopeful, sceptical, unsure?
I just heard on TV yesterday that a new cancer drug that is being trialed by a cancer patient & had been a big break through. I am a cancer patient with several cancers by drinking the water at Camp Lejeune Marine base & I am here by the grace if God😇😇😇
