The other thing to be aware of is apparently, according to my MO,chemo can make your WBC permanently below "normal", though not by a lot, and yet you can still have an immune system that functions perfectly adequately. And even before chemo, I had a RBC that was often a little below normal--enough so that I couldn't give blood the last two times I tried(which I now think was a good thing since who knows if there were cancer cells in my blood), so the fact that it is back to that slightly anemic level doesn't bother me.
