Re: Avoid salad

i think what is causing some confusion is when were neutropenic
( low white counts from chemo) we should not any have any raw or uncooked foods, ie; salads, due to our immune comprised state (we can't fight off bacteria so well)

If our counts are fine we can have salads, etc.
while in tx always ask for your WBC count.
