    Our experience
    My husband had Hodgkins' disease 34 years ago with ten months of very strong chemo. He was somewhat frail physically for a couple of years but then went many years with wonderful health. He would go years without having to take a day off work from being sick even though he worked out of doors in the harsh Montana winters.

    No here too
    In the many years I've been dealing with cancer I've had at most 5 colds, never had treatments held up either.
    I was never one for getting sick pre-cancer.
    Everyone's different.

    Both of mine are below normal and dont ever seem to rise any higher than they are, however I've not gotten sick besides maybe the sniffels.
