I had very low counts during chemo myself, and continued to work as a teacher at a preschool during treatment. It was what made me feel good. I just made sure to keep up on my shots (to boost my white count) and I did not change any diapers as my onc. said the risk of E-coli was there and dangerous. I would think that if she washed her hands and avoided certain exposures that she would be fine. I think that it is important to do what you enjoy and to feel as normal as possible during treatment. The fresh air will do her good as well!
Love, Kelly
