Hi Geri, I have never seen anything that indicates the ANC should remain at a certain level, infact just the contrary. Plenty of our members have chronicly low counts and they do just fine.
I've also never heard of the ANC effecting energy levels (which isn't to say that it isn't possible). It's usually the red cells (RBC, Hct, Hgb) that will change energy levels. For me personally, my counts are all rock solid in the normal range and my Hgb is high enough to make most women jelous but I'm so chronicly tired that I could never dream of holding down a full time job. I guess what I'm saying is that there is no guarantee that if your counts get up, you'll feel any better... although I hope you do.
