I went through surgery and chemo for breast cancer between Oct'15 and April'16. My blood work got all kinds of skewed--very anemic, white counts all over the place. I ended up hospitalized for sepsis after my first chemo. We had thought to go camping during that time, but after the sepsis I decided better of it. I just didn't want to be away from home if I had complications again. Of course, your mileage may vary. I'm done with treatment now, considered "cured" by my oncologist. We have begun camping again and it's been great!
