Thanks Jacquelyne! Shingles is a virus that everyone has in their bodies, provided they had chicken pox once. It's usually triggered when your immune system is weakened, or by a an emotional or physical shock. What happens is that you get intense pain in one side of your body, and soon afterwards a rash begins to appear over the same are whaere the pain is. The really ugly and gross part is that the rash eventually forms into a whole bunch of blisters on your skin, hence shingles It's really unpleasant, but the good part is that there are no bad things in the long term. After a few weeks, it's as if you never had it...

As far as the cancer is concerned, it's all over, as they caught it really early, and it's one of the most curable forms of cancer, with a survival rate of over 90%... Hodgkin's disease in case you're wondering, a form of lymphoma.
