Suppressed immune system

It has taken me longer then I want to shake this sickness. However, after chemo and transplants my immune system no longer has the strength and fortitude it once had. Coping with a suppressed immune system is something we cancer patients must contend with. It is why I quiver when I see people coughing and sneezing into their hands and then spreading their contaminates on every surface imaginable. The littlest infection can be of great danger to anyone with a damaged immune system. My greatest hope is that as I experience these illnesses it will help build some immunity in my new bone marrow and build some resilience for me. In the meantime I seem to pick up more things and take longer to get over them. As long as I always get over them, I can be okay with that!
