How can I build up my immune system after breast Cancer Treatments?

I have a very low immune system since I had chemotherapy, radiation, and other breast cancer treatments and surgeries. Since I finished chemo and radiation less than a year ago, I have had shingles, meningitis, and have had to fight 2 infections in my left breast that had the radiation in it and will have to go in for surgery to have the implant removed, and replaced. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. What can I do? Also, gained 40 lbs and hate the weight gain.

Dave, Mara and Inverse, all good advice. I put on about 15-20 lbs from my treatments also. It’s slowly coming off now that I can get out and about a little more. I also take organic flaxseed oil pills with omegas and lignans, vit. d with calcium and also an 81 mg aspirin a day. My onco said everyone should take an aspirin a day.
