Does anyone know how long it takes for your body snd immune system to recover after chemo please?
Hi again , during chemotherapy the time when the immune system is most vulnerable is normally days 7-14. This is when there is an increased risk of infection.
For some people the recovery can take longer but her team will be able to advise you as to how she is doing.
Hiya I'm new to the group , I had chemo , I finished it in September , I've been fine throughout my treatment but I'm now getting late effects , but everyone is different & depends on what chemo treatment they go , I hope that helps you Xx
