Shingles

First of all, I hope everyone is doing well. I had #6/12 T/H yesterday, I was lucky I could get it becasue I have developed SHINGLES! I was so mad, but what can I do. I was just wondering if anyone else had this happen to them? I have been under a lot of stress, having trouble sleeping, etc...I think this is why it deceided to come out. It is really itchy, but has not spread other than a cluster on my left abdomen.

Have a great day everyone!

I developed Shingles on my nose and eye and I think two or three others on this list also were lucky enough to get them. :-(
My system was definitely down after Taxotere/Herceptin and major dental infection.

I came down with it after I finished radiation, luckily it was a very minor outbreak on my temple. I've not had another problem, but, word to the wise, was told it can return and to be alert to early symptoms because there's an anti-viral med that if taken in the early days can greatly reduce the severity.
Hope you heal up and have no more problems!!!
