Honestly, that fear never completely goes away. It does discipate a little, though. I found that the best way to deal with those little freak outs is to have a quick test you can do for yourself to check your counts. Look for petichia around your ankles. Look at the creases in your hand to determine how quickly they turn red. Ask your hematologist for little things like that you cab look for to quickly assess your health and alleviate that initial fear. :-)
