Yep, I just got out of the hospital with pneumonia....seems like it was an '"opportunistic" infection, as my white count had been very low for quite some time, and I had been running a fever for 2 months straight. It took a while for the pneumonia to present itself--in fact, at a Dr's visit the day before, my lungs sounded clear!
One thing I know for sure, that ups and downs are the constant in the disease! Just do the best you can as far as neutropenic precautions, and keep an eye on your temperature....and hang in there!
