As Dena points out (dfantle), the medications you are on have a huge effect on certain blood components... The fewer medications you're on the faster certain blood components will recover...
While at Hope lodge I had quite a few discussions with BMT patients about this... As many patients react differently to certain drugs, and some medications can repress certain blood components in a bad way...
