Susan,

This is a scarey time and there is much you should look at and consider. As for the rist of infection,you will most likely be given Neulasta or Neupogen (sp?) to help build your white cells during treatment. Although infection is a concern, you can take precautions and meds to assist in building your immune system. I would not think risk of infection should outweigh the probable benefits of treatment.
