I have really not worried too much about getting sick. Of course I try not to but I don't stay at home all the time. My friend told me that the problem is not derailing treatment but that if I were to get sick that it would be really hard for them to treat and could be life treating while on chemo.

She is on the other side of chemo/surgery and was fussing at me for being in the school. I guess all kinds of bugs are going around and first flus are out.

Is that what you have heard about getting sick?
