  schema:description "The viruses behind cold sores and shingles stay in the body for life and can flare when cancer treatment weakens the immune system. People having intensive leukaemia treatment, a stem cell transplant, or myeloma drugs such as bortezomib are usually given an antiviral tablet, aciclovir or valaciclovir, to prevent this. Most people having ordinary chemotherapy for a solid tumour do not need it."@en ;
