HTLV question
Joy,
I was diagnosed in 2002 with HER2 positive IDC and DCIS. When my onc recommended chemo, I asked him if there would be any problem related to my prior history of possible HTLV I-II positivity, because some chemos can eventually cause leukemia and I wanted to know if being possibly HTLV positive might mean it would be more likely I might end up with leukemia.
The only reason the question of HTLV positivity came up for me at all was because at one point I had my blood tested for autologous blood donation for a surgery I had. I would guess that there could be others who never find out that they might be HTLV positive.
I do not know what the connections or problems might be for you and I.
