I finished 6 rounds of taxotere with herceptin 3 months ago. I had neulasta after each round and now am on 3 weekly herceptin.
Went for my herceptin today and the nurse said my white blood cell count was 2.3 and my platelets were 136. Both of these are low but she said as it's not a chemo I could have the herceptin.
Has anyone any info on how long it takes for your blood to return to normal? I remember my onc saying taxotere was hard on platelets but didn't mention white cells. My red cell count has recovered and is in the normal range though this was low and I just avoided a transfusion.

Also had joint aches and pains though my scan is normaland wonder if this is due to herceptin or the blood!
I thought my knowledgeable her 2 sisters may have some info/advice

Thanks
Ellie
