I, too, feel my immune system is fine, at least as far as sickness goes. I've been fortunate as far as colds and flu go. Neither during or after chemo was I struck down with any of that. However, one thing that is different about me now is that I am very sensitive to antibiotics. I was just put on an antibiotic for a bacterial/yeast infection - I only took 2 of the pills and major rash/hives swollen face, red etc. I ended up going to the health food store to get something to treat it with their. After my 1st mastectomy (10 days after) I broke out in severe hives - like saucer plate size - that lasted for 2 weeks. We still aren't sure what brought those about. After my prophylactic mastectomy I noticed small hives on my arms but thankfully they didn't turn into anything serious. I often wonder what I'll ever do if something really bad happens to me and I'd need an antibiotic. I'd be afraid to take it.
That's my 2 cents.
