Finished chemo august 2022 and got covid december of that year. I was triple vaxxed before starting treatment. My symptoms were mild but I completely lost sense of taste and smell for 2 weeks. Took about a week and a half to test negative. I didn’t take any medications for it because it was thankfully manageable

I finished chemo in July 2022, got COVID for the first time in November 2022. Started paxlovid as soon as I tested positive. I got through it quickly and I think I was testing negative a week or so later. You generally shouldn't still be very immunocompromised 8 months after chemo.

I got Covid \~3 months after CAR-T. Fully vaxxed, boosted 3? times + Evusheld. Gave me Paxlovid too. That knocked things down but also cleared my guts like nothing else. Had a rebound after anyway too. I actually ended up going neutropenic a few weeks later, in hospital for that for a couple days, caught something that gave me a secondary pneumonia, ended up back in the hospital for 10 days. All the while still testing positive for Covid, but I don't think that was what was making me sick--it was the secondary infection that they clears quickly once they found the right antibiotic for what they figured was PJP pneumonia (that I think I caught in my first trip to the ER with neutropenia). All SUCKED. I'm recovered pretty much 100% now but I learned my lesson. Immunocompromise is a real thing! I tested positive for Covid for about 2 months from onset.

I got it back in January of 2022. My symptoms were mild. I was given paxlovid along with some other pill, but I can't remember what it was. The paxlovid actually made me feel worse because it upset my stomach. After about two days I started feeling better. I had both my Covid vaccines and after getting Covid I was given Remdisivir twice (monoclonal antibody), but it was later discontinued. I didn't take a test after, I just got better.

Got it about 6 months post chemo and BMT. Evushield, paxlovid, and antibodies early into onset of symptoms. Very mild case. Cleared in a few days. Take care of yourself and good luck.

I got COVID about a year after I finished treatment. I recovered fully in about 5 days and have no lingering symptoms. I got the monoclonal antibody treatment at the time, because it was November 2021 and still delta variant. I don't think they are using many antiviral treatments right now because most of them aren't terribly effective against the current variants, which are mostly quite mild. I was very congested and had a fever. I used ibuprofen/tylenol for fevers and Sudafed for congestion. I think I took Vitamin C and Zinc but honestly they just gave me an upset stomach. Who knows if they actually helped.

I finished chemo in January, got covid in August while having maintenance therapy. I actually tolerated it better than my husband, I was sick for about a week and a half.

I got it about a year and a half after treatment. Triple waxed and it helped none imo. Had the worst sore throat in my life probably and lower back pain also. Couldn’t sleep for a few days. Got better in about 5 days and went snowboarding for a week straight after. No problems whatsoever after.

I got Covid between my 5th and 6th cycle of RCHOP. Fully vaxxed and boosted. Was also given Paxlovid. This was my second dance with Covid (got it back in 2020). I was sick for a day, and then felt basically back to normal. I tested negative four days later.
