Wink Red count

can be built up with some simple dietary changes. If you do not eat much red meat, there are other foods such as lentils you can add that will get that red count back up.
ALso, supplements with iron will help.

The white count is different in that it does not seem to be as food related. Doing some weight-bearing exercise and generally working on your immune system should help. Being active again without overdoing to point of exhaustion was key for me.
BTW - my white count has never been as high as it was pre-cancer. It is not below normal, but it not quite as high. Everyone should have a blood panel from when they began treatment to look at as some kind of baseline.
