Dear Paul,
I see that you have had several replies answering you query about
Chemotherapy removing built up immunity. It is a subject I know nothing
about. I received Chemotherapy between February 1995-June 1996, initially
at 7-10 day intervals. I am a hobbiest beekeeper and during that time I
continued to work my colonies, sometimes with help sometimes on my own. I
got stung occasionally, but don't remember reacting any more severely than
usual. But then my drugs would have been very different to yours. However I
credit my recovery from Cancer to two things, medical
science and my bees. Not certain what proportion to allocate to each! I
found lifting off a crown board and just entering the bees' world, shut out
other worries that I might have had at the time. I tired more quickly, so I
paced myself. Good luck Paul and I hope that you will continue to enjoy
your bees.
Claire Chavasse, Co. Waterford, Ireland.
