Throwing this in for consideration

Hi,

Before doing CAF x 6 followed by rads in 2002, my WBC was on the high end of normal. While in treatment I knew it would be very low quite often, and that it might take a while after finishing treatment to become more normal. But even without ever receiving Herceptin, at 2 years out my count was still below normal. It continued that way for several years. The more weight I lost, the more I was able to exercise, but weight loss was extremely slow and it took until my 6th year out to lose 20 pounds and feel lighter on my feet. My WBC is still on the low end of normal, and sometimes just below normal, but I think the exercise might be helping.

Anyway, since I never had Herceptin, probably the continuing low count is due to the chemotherapy and rads.

A.A.
