compromised immune system
I finished the hard chemo (A/C and Taxol) in Oct 2005, finished radiation treatments in Jan 2006 and finished my year of Herceptin in July 2006. I had 1.5 yrs of Tamoxifen and now am on Aromasin. My recent blood tests showed my WBC below normal. Our blood cell producing tissues.........the bone marrow "take a hard blow" from the drugs and radiation. It is worrisome, but I think "par for the course."
