My white blood cell count goes way down one week after every chemo treatment, for about 10 days, then shoots back up again. They fall so low that my onc prescribes antibiotics for me to take during those days...probably because I also have a son in kindergarten bringing home plenty of germs every day! Just be cautious of cuts and scrapes, avoid people who are sick, and crowded places, but if the mexican food feels good, eat it!
