This is very interesting. I was diagnosed with EBV 25 years prior to my BC diagnosis. It seems like a bit of a stretch that it could be related but it would be something it had a connection. At the time chronic fatigue syndrome was the "In disease".It seemed when the doctors didn't have any answers thats what it was labled. When they told me I had chronic epstine barr and it signaled that I had a weak immune system and low T4 counts I just wrote it off to them not knowing what to tell me. It will be interesting to see if anything comes out of this.I will be keeping my eyes out for it.
