We went out to Whole Foods to get some groceries today and ran into our oncology nurse. During the course of the conversation we talked about what some other folks who have gone through chemotherapy have had happen to them.
The problems relate to immune system perturbations that begin with fever and end in septic shock.
People can die from that.
I seem to have been walking through this like some innocent golden boy trekking down a forest path while all the monsters in the deep and dark feast on corpses downwind and hidden while I stroll by unaware enjoying the country air.

You're still my hero!
