You poor thing.

I had shingles whilst on carbo and taxol. Luckily I only had it mildly which may have been because my GP spotted it very quickly. I too am surprised a&e missed it . I understood that shingles was fairly common to get during chemo because it sort of hangs around in your body waiting for your immune system to be a bit low.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.
