T.O.

I have been on Herceptin since June 2004 and have started my second year last month. My white count has never been normal on Herceptin and my red counts are at the bottom end of normal and occassionally slip below normal. I have had only one virus during this time so apparently I am doing well with a low white blood count. I do take supplemnts to enhance my immune system and try to eat food high in iron such as clams, spinach and some beans. My oncologist is not worried as I have done well and he approved a second year of Herceptin even though I am only Stage 2B.
