Well, I woke up this morning and the pain and rash were all down my back on the right side and ribs and totally covering breast. I went to a specialist (because Oncologist wasn't sure it was shingles) and sure enough..it is shingle. I'm lucky enough to have a really, really bad case..is what he said. Shingles usually follow a single nerve path, mine has infected 3 nerve paths...lol. Typical me..if I'm gonna do something..do it big. Like being diagnosed stage Iv from the get go. I can handle shingles, just as long as this cancer stays away..sherryg683
