Having young children will bring more germs into the house. When my kids were little they brought home everything.
When someone has cancer it can take a year or sometimes even 2 years to fully recover. Most patients are doing pretty good about 8 months after finishing treatments. Dont be surprised if it takes a very long time for your bloodwork to settle down and go back to normal. Its not easy recovering from everything you have been thru.
Hope you feel better very soon! Same with the kids, wishing they will be better quickly.
