Re: TCH Revisited
Your WBC can vary between treatments, they have a thresthold that if it goes too low they won't do your chemo treatment. You will probably keep getting the shots and just expect the up then down results. My levels varied between 2.2 and 2.4 so your 3.2 is not too bad yet. Low WBC just goes with the treatment, just need to watch that you are not around others that are sick, stay away from crouded venues. If you can make it through treatment without catching a cold it makes it easier. Hope things continue to go well.
