Hi Guys,
Its been three years since my cancer diagnosis and treatment. Although I am feeling miles better, I have noticed that I am getting recurring infections, I have had severe tonsillitis and recently I have had bad infection in my foot which has resulted in my having a cellulitis in my right leg. It has been very painful and I have been back and forth to my local hospital to have intravenous antibiotics. I wonder if my immune system is still low three years on from the chemoradiation treatment? Has anyone suffered the same.
Cheers

Might be worth checking. Low thyroid levels can predispose to infections.
