I know when John's WBC/ANC was low and early on in his recovery, we were obsessive about infection prevention. In his first two years out from treatment, he only got sick twice. And that with an ANC of .8 - 1.5. As he got better, he started getting exposed to more stuff and we were much more relaxed about things. Consequently, he is getting more colds than before.
