Infections

Hi Beth,
Too bad with the cold!

You know I got neutropenic fever 2007 after 3 infections and since then I live as if I had neutropenia (too low neutrophils). All infections can decrease counts. My WBCs are low but not very low - latest neutrophil count 2.6 - but I avoid persons that can be infected, travel in my own car, avoid public bathrooms, only eat hot food and fruits that I have peeled myself etcetera. I have not had an infection since 2007 (knock on wood).

Hope Earl will be OK when the second round of chemo starts!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
