Hi, I did a search and came across this old thread. I know a lot of women have the low white blood cells while on chemo & herceptin together. Mine is continuing to stay low, though, even though only on herceptin now. It was 3.8, then 5.6, and then yesterday's treatment it was back down to 2.6. I'm getting worried. Did anyone else's WBC stay low during herceptin only (I saw Melissa's post above that said hers did--anyone else?)
