If you have already had chicken pox you are immune to it. My concern would be are you up to dealing with a sick child? They can be very demanding when they don't feel good.

Good luck with your treatment. You've found a place where lots of us are in the middle of it, and lots have made it all the way through so they can ask any questions that come up for you.
