@rhongirl - This year it will be 30(!) years ago since I had mastectomy and chemo. I was also lucky to be able to take all treatments on time and full dose.
Over the years I have had my share of sinus infections, bronchitis and pneumonia. Also 2 sinus surgeries. I’m 77 now and my immune system is temperamental.
I just read a medical article today about how to strengthen the immune defense.
Cut out/ down stress, sleep, moderate physical activity and a good sense of humor - just what you mentioned!
Before retirement I had a job with intense stress- I still have difficulty with stress.
I also developed an autoimmune colitis.
You have been through a lot the past couple of years- tough on your body. It takes time for the body to heal after surgeries.
You will get back to normal- in the meantime keep an eye on those cute Petri dishes!
I still wear a face mask when I’m in a crowded place. There are so many viruses, including the flu, circulating.
