Hi Chriswg,
Am in Bethesda for husband's bmb at NIH so don't have but a second.
But when Don's neutrophils hit 0.0 he got an infection and was in the hospital for two weeks with 24/7 iv's of antibiotics and then sent home with two more weeks of twice a day iv's of antibiotics. He had diverticulitis and our oncologist treated it as if he had sepsis. He came through it just fine. Perhaps they need to keep your wife on antibiotics for a much longer time.
I hope this helps.
God Bless,
Sally
