I think it gets very difficult separating the trees from the forest, case in point is where for years herceptin was solely blamed for the cardio side effects and not until much later, have we been able to reduce this to concurrent herceptin and adriamycn and the presence of a gene. Most survivors on this board have had dose-dense chemo which are really dose-dense immunity killers. I think about the shingles post and know that shingles does not occur that often when one has a healthy immune system. Has this virus been activated by chemo or herceptin? I don't have the answers do question, "how we are to separate the individual drugs from past and present drug coctails and assign them to one particular side effect"?
Happy holidays
