Hiya. My wife was on EC a few months ago before she started a second type of chemo. From the Oncologist appointment we had just after, this is what i remember. The chemo leaves your body in around 3 days. Hence why you need to flush the loo twice for those 3 days before someone uses it. The immune system differs from person to person. My wife was, and still is given home injections for 5 days (starts 2 days after the chemo is administered) to build her immune system up. Iirc, your immune system begins to recover from 3 weeks on. But yeah, how long it takes to get back to "normal" can differ. Sometimes months.
