Friday when I went for my weekly Navelbine and Herceptin treatment, my Leukocytes were way down. My doctor ordered to cut my Navelbine back from 25 to 15. I recently read that walking can help to build those white cells up, (I am a avid walker, but need to get more regular again, I haven't been doing it much since I was in the hospital). Does anybody have any other suggestions that I can do to help my cause? I am staying in and away from all of the "germs" out there and at this point don't feel sick. Anyway, anything anyone may have to offer would be appreciated.

Andi,
There are several past threads that delt with low neutophils & platelets caused by navelbine or other chemos.
Here is one (you can search for more using the words neutophils or platelets):
