I finished chemo in March 2017, and I have also noticed that I seem to be getting sick a lot more in the last year, and having trouble getting over things when I do get sick. Nothing serious, though; and I also have more frequent runny noses. I did take Neulasta. I guess chemo affects the immune system for longer than we thought.

My nose runs all the time when I am outside. It can be warm outside. Maybe I have allergies now.

I don’t seem to get sick any more often than before chemo but when I do catch something I seem to get it really bad.

I'm probably jinxing it now, but I keep saying that my $20k investments in the neulasta shots have paid off. Haven't been sick since finishing chemo 10/31/16.

I also had Neulasta (side effects were awful). I also work in a school, so all those little germs with sneakers are roaming around! I keep taking my vitamins, exercising as I can and trying to eat healthier. I'm convinced that chemo wrecks more than just cancer cells for a long time. I am still having issues with discolored and ridged toenails ~ ugh! Take care of yourself as well!
