My white counts got as low as .4 one time on chemo and would usually be around .5 after the second week. My oncologist never gave me a shot for this. He wanted them to increase on their own on the week I was off of Xeloda, which they always did. So no, I never had one. I had the one for red count several times and found they didn't give me any more energy at all, they didn't work too well for me..sherryg
