White blood platelets

Hi.  I was treated last year for type 3a hep c.  after 3 weeks of treatment my white blood cells dropped too low and my dr. stopped my treatment.   when my dr. stopped my treatment he also did a viral load test which came back undetectable.  he decided not to continue treatment.  I was still undetected at my 6 month check up.  :)   the only problem is my white blood cells still haven't went back up.  it's been about 8 months and I only had 3 weeks of treatment.  does anyone know if this is normal??  I'm not sure how long it's supposed to take for your body to get back to normal and my dr.  never returns my phone calls.   if anyone has any insight i would appreciate it.  thanks

Holy spider nevi.  Three weeks on treatment and SVR.  Congratulations.

Most blood values return to normal by six months.  You may want to see a hematologist.
