A neighbor of mine developed GBS after chemo from breast cancer. She had had a mastectomy too. It occurred about 4 months after the surgery and chemo.

This was a while ago, before IVIG was perfected. She was given
plasmapharesis which reversed it pretty quickly.

One can get GBS as a result of an intestinal infection from
the food borne Campylobacter (common in poorly cooked chicken).
