Hello... I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer 16 years ago, underwent mastectomy, reconstruction, chemo, radio therapy and a year of Herceptin. I was told all of my lymph nodes under my right armpit were removed. The sentinal showed signs of cancerous cells. I have since been healthy and well.

However, I am concerned that I am not on a register at my GP's as having a compromised immune system, and therefore have not had even my 4th booster covid jab. I was told 16 years ago that  I would always have a weakness with regard to fighting infections, which has definately proved to be the case over the years, despite always having  a flu jab. I recently had communications from my GP, who said that after this amount of time my system would have recovered, and therefore I was not at risk. I work as a volunteer in many care homes, and feel I should be able to have the Autumn booster as soon as possible.

Your thoughts please????? kind wishes
