ANC
I don't know what my ANC count got down to the first time round, but I never was neutropenic in the sense that they would take special precautions, alter my diet, etc... I remember specifically asking one of the covering hemos if not going neutropenic meant the treatment was not going to be effective. He said it wasn't necessary. I was free to move around, but looking back, walking all around Queens may not be one of the best things to do when you are compromised! (That's not a hit against Queens, it would apply to any large hospital).
