Glad to hear you are doing well. All those drugs are very hard on your system. Most think the cytoxan is the worst but many find the anti-biotics and anti-fungals are much harder on body. John was on them for about 4 months and they really messed him up. Many of the drug studies done on safety with anti-biotics and anti-fungals are usually short term studies, usually for 28 days. So they really don't know the side effect/adverse reactions with long term use at therapeutic doses. The good thing is that many issues resolve or improve once you are off all meds.
John's whites recovered first, then red cells and his platelets are still below normal.
