David,
I'm glad to hear that you are "amazingly stable."
From your last CBCs, you seem to have an absolute neutrophil count less than 1500. Some doctors consider that mildly neutropenia, leaving you with a higher risk of infections than the average person, and that matches your experience of more frequent infections.
You're right that hematologists don't often give basic advice about daily habits and diet. Getting enough fluids and exercise is good advice that applies to everyone. I've always assumed that a balanced and healthful diet improves your overall health, which helps you fight any disease you might encounter.
