Hi Jean and Jackie07,

Thanks for the links. As noted in the third link Jean posted:

"Persons having underlying co-morbid conditions like diabetes, cancer, liver disease or any other chronic disease including pregnant women and children are at high risk."

It is interesting that even long-term survivors here like ourselves do not have the answer, as the flu surfaced early last spring and we still don't have any good or clear answer for people here even though there are lots of people here who have gone through treatment, are going through treatment, and are considering treatment, with lots of oncologists to advise us all.

There has been no open discussion even on the forums here indicating that oncs have any recommendations about it for us -- especially in regard to early stage bc where the recommended treatment is least definite for many.
