Did you have to have a blood test 10 days after your treatment to test how low cells had gone? Its the most dangerous time for infection and they want me to go into the hospital, down to pathology and sit in a room full of sick people. I am wondering to what end? Will the test just satisfy their curiousity or bring forth some actual side affect help?
