Thank you Bev ,Yes it was painful it's eased a bit , do take to your DR about the Vaccination,as we ladies can be at risk with our low immune system if you have the virus.

Hi Nancy, for the hugs and best wishes, Feeling a bit better to day. Take care Lorraine xx

I do hope you can shake the shingles quickly - it is so unpleasant. I got shingles triggered by the start of my second line of chemo - apparently the shock of the drugs can trigger the virus to come out of its hiding places in the nervous system, so maybe your recent treatment has done the same for you. I hope you are being taken good care of, with best wishes Dawn

Hi Dawn Thank you yes it's our low immune system that triggers it for us, I now know that you can have a vaccination for it and if you have the virus you should have it..Look arfter yourself take care Lorraine xx

Hope you will feel better soon, Lorraine. I believe there are some newly approved vaccines on the market which could help prevent a future shingles attack. You would need to check with you med team though if any of those are an option for you.

Best wishes, Maus.

Really sorry to hear about the shingles. I will echo Maus about the vaccines. I had one when I turned 60 prior to my diagnosis for OC. My mother had them and they are horribly painful. Not to worry about responding to messages just now.

That’s not great news are you still on chemo?Will keep you in my thoughts and hope your scan results are ok ❤️

So sorry to hear this. It's one thing after another, isn't it? Shingles is such a horrible thing. My poor 96 year old mother in law had it earlier this year and really struggled.

Hope you feel a bit better soon and it doesn't interfere too much with your treatment x
