Hi all-
I am currently on my last 5 rounds of Herceptin and am taking Femara. No side effects with the Femara and only the runny nose witih Herceptin.
I had blood work done with my Primary Dr. and the white cells are only 2.5
I remember back in the Chemo months having to deal with neutropenic fever, hospital, hazmat suits, the whole deal!
Does anyone out there deal with low white cells?
Anything we should be doing? Dangerous stuff?
