Hep B
Comments

The information you received is only partially accurate. You can also get Hepatitis B from contact with saliva, blood, or urine of an infected person or vertical transmission from mother to child. Although you just received notification, it is possible Hep B has been there for decades without you knowing. All of the needles at the Cancer Treatment center are sterile, and you do not come in contact with the bodily fluids of others there, either. You need to speak with a physician who knows accurate Hep B info.0

Thanks...have spoken with family physician, No evidencde of Hep B in my history. No evidence of it in my cbc during chemo...only after my last chemo...and have had no direct contact with any body fluids of anyone that I know of. Physician mystified. How should I pursue this? klippeDeeNY711 said:The information you received is only partially accurate.
