That is an AMAZING story about the woman getting cancer from a donated heart!! The vaccine story is also quite interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Question was: "Research I have done shows that these viruses are contributing to the cause of invasive Breast Cancer so they are now looking for a vaccine also for Epstein Barr Virus. So I am curious if any of you ladies have had either."

I was diagnosed with Mononucleosis (Kissing Disease)when I was 15, that would be 35 years before my diagnosis. Not sure if this is the same as Epstein Barr, but somehow similar. I had the symptoms of swollen glands, low grade fever, feeling listless and wanting to sleep during the day at school. My spleen was enlarged, but not to a very bad extent. I could not go skiing or to swim team for about 3 months - torture for me!
I have been wondering if this was in any way related to my cancer ...
