Kevin & Sue,
When I was on the A/C my white and red counts were always low. My white, as well as Sue's dropped to 1. I took a lot of Leviquin and it does help. Hopefully, she won't get the mouth sores. Hang in there, it does get better and as I said before after you're finished it just becomes a faint memory. My red counts (hemoglobin) continue to drop even though I'm only on Herceptin. Just had a treatment today and had to get a shot of Procrit.
