Hey anon, We asked a very highly regarded breast cancer expert if your mother's breast cancer treatments may have had caused some antibiotic resistant tendencies. Here was her response ...
"If she had very recently had radiation then there is a chance that there is a connection, but not if she completed radiation more than a year ago."
That answer was shared by Lillie Shockney, RN., BS., MAS, and University Distinguished Service Assistant Professor of Breast Cancer and Administrative Director of Breast Center at Johns Hopkins Avon Foundation Breast Center.
