    Sure enough the lymph near my husbands collorbone grew...CT was just a few days after his first shot. Whew!!!! I mean he still had issues having been off of all treatments for months but that spot was just the icing on the cake! Me, I had a swollen gland in my left arm pit...Kind of freaked but it went away then the news came out. Okay I will still get the mamogram but later down the road. One day at a time right now.

    I got a scan two days after

    I got a scan two days after my first dose. I made sure to tell my oncologist office via portal so he doesn't freak me out Tues if my results are otherwise good. I agree it should be more widespread knowledge. I found out because I was googling to make sure the contrast for scan was okay two days after vaccine.
