      Yes!  My husband Peck broke out with shingles at the end of his first 12 week cycle.  Anyone else?

      Talked with dr W about it…he was surprised I heard about it. 4 patients out of 130 have come down with either shingles or chicken pox. They have no idea why other than something is going on with their immune system…

      Any more info on development of shingles and outcome? My son is going through the Merck PD1 Antibody trial and has recently developed a bad case of shingles on his head and eye. He is being hospitalized under the care of his oncologist and an infectious disease doctor.
