    Both of my levels are below normal after having finished chemo a year ago. I'm not sure why they aren't going back up but they've been that way. All my radiation was done to the pelvic area and that is where most of the cells are made. Not sure if they will ever go up. Never received any blood because of it though. What excatly is that supposed to do?
