Shingles
Hello
Breast cancer diagnosed July 2015- already last year!
Had mastectomy (left- nipple preserving) and immediate reconstruction with implant in August- just a slight problem with a seroma that was drained x3 post.
Had 33 sessions of radiotherapy October through early December - skin all healed by Christmas??
Then developed Shingles on 28th December!!
Prior to this had been managing walks in various local groups, of between 2 and 4-6 hrs in length - 3-5 times per week- have not even managed to walk the dog since Shingles.
Have been in pain and taking various pain meds to target the nerve pain ( currently on a course of steroids) since..far worse than any of my cancer treatment??
Anyone else had this?
Jank

Hi Jank, I copped a dose of scabies from somewhere, suspect chemo ward, and it was awful. I've had shingles before, and know how uncomfortable and painful it is. Give yourself time to recover, and then get back to the exercise.
Sending you a big cuddle, Trace ????????
