Re: Epstein-Barr virus in breast cancer tissue and resistance to paclitaxel

Very interesting. I had mono at age 40, diagnosed with BC 8 years later at age 48. I was very ill with the mono, and my GP told me that in her 15 year practice she only had one other patient over the age of 30 who had mono.

all the best
