Low WBC 5 months after chemo

I am having my last stage reconstruction in one week, replacing the chest expanders with silicone implants. I had a CBC done last week and my WBC count is only 3.5. This is still low and I completed my final chemo at the end of May. Is it common for blood counts to still be low after 5 months? Should I be concerned about that with surgery coming up? Thanks!

I suggest posting your question to the nurse at http://www.medhelp.org/forums/BreastCancer/wwwboard.html.
Although, the nurse will probably tell you to express your concerns to your surgeon.
