My employer who died 3 years ago had a lot of chemotherapy for a malignant brain tumor over 2-3 years-he was in the hospital at least once a month for infections in the last year of his life-chemotherapy suppresses/ruins your immune system, so any infection can be fatal very quickly-likely what is going on with Ginsberg-I think she is crazy and evil, but I would not wish that on anyone-other than mi peor enemigo ...
Her chemo is different. Normally, the work on getting white cells to regenerate quickly are quite effective.
It is an incredibly aggressive chemo—but infections tend not to be a major issue.
