    Gosh!
    So glad you're finally back on the mend, after all of that yucky stuff!!! Yes, shingles are nasty! No personal experience, but... My Mom recently had shingles about one month after completing her rads. Caught & treated quickly (with prescription oral meds & ointment). Bad enough; but, not nearly as bad as it could've been.

    Hope you're feeling better each & every day, CC.

    Kind regards, Susan

    Glad you are feeling better! Does it seems like more and more people are getting shingles? I couldn't tell you how many I have heard recently!

    Bummer
    about the shingles. I will have to do this when I go in for my next med review. (I try hard not to over use the health system). I guess cancer put a stop to that for at least a while but no guilt about that because it was necessary.

    Doing well. Have Lymphedema but have really done well keeping it in check. Determined to not let this side effect of bc treatment get me down. I got too much life to live. Not on the net as much as before. Have to go to the library now so I am not as likely to be on here as before.
