So as suspected, the dr. pushed my second round off by a week due to the infections, even though they are much better, it appears that I have a slight cold. My neutraphils only went from .5 to .6, and WBC's 1.7 to 1.8...
On the bright side, my other counts are through the roof... So even though I've been fighting off infections, I've been able to walk across town in the morning and after work (10 miles per week), makes me feel more normal...
