when my wife developed leukemia some 26 years ago, she also had a dormant strain of tb.

when she got chemo
the resistance to the tb was removed and the tb went nuts.

nasty nasty shit.

the antibiotics seemed as bad as the chemo.

Cause of death was leukemia but it was the tb that damaged her to the extent that
treatments such as bone marrow transplants were not an option.
