Hi, you asked “What is leukopenia?”
It’s a term for a low white blood count, a decrease in the disease fighting cells in your blood.
Here’s what Mayo Clinic has about this condition on their website.

People with this condition are fairly susceptible to illnesses and infections. Doctors can detect this with blood tests. Has this been the case with you?

Yes……. On Friday but hematologist said she would not see me again until 1 year. I thought that was strange.
