Lori - I am sure others on the list can send
informatio n about boosting your friend's immune
system. When I had chemo for breast cancer in '93, my
WBC plummeted, and I took a daily shot (can't remember
the name) of something that was basically the core of
white blood cells, so that I could grow my own more
quickly.

Mostly, your friend needs to make sure that she gets
enough rest, and tries to avoid situations where she
would be exposed to alot of germs. Tell her congrats
from another survivor - the last chemo is a very big
deal and a major relief. Ann
