Red Finch,
All you can do is try - but realistically, I think its a long shot.
The regulation that governs medical qualifications for enlistment (and officer accessions) is AR 40-501. Your best bet would probably be to google it and download a copy, and have your physician read chapter 2 (and paragraph 5-3, if you're interested in SF as a career option.) Your physician can then determine what supporting documentation is appropriate to provide to MEPS (in addition to your complete medical records, of course.) Sometimes input from your physician matters to the MEPS doc, sometimes it doesn't.
Recurrent leukopenia (low white blood cell count) is disqualifying, and that condition was almost certainly present during your illness. You can apply for a waiver, which is a lengthy process. The military doesn't want to take the chance on you becoming a liability in training or on deployment, and unless there's a very high likelyhood you won't have any problems in the future, they probably won't grant the waiver.
To be honest, I don't think you'll get in, but I'm not a recruiter or a MEPS doctor, so I could be wrong. If you want to serve, I recommend that you pull your medical records together, review them with your personal physician, have your doctor provide whatever additional input he feels is appropriate, and then take the MEPS physical and see what happens. If you get permanently disqualified, you can ask your recruiter to help you with the waiver process, but be prepared for it to take a while. It won't cost you anything but time to try.
If you don't get in, at least you gave it your best shot, which, in my opinion, puts you head and shoulders above most of your peers.
Best of luck however it turns out.
