May need to hold off on Herceptin
Hello Everyone,
This is my first post on this site and I hope someone can answer the question below.
Has anyone had treatments stopped because of low neutrophil counts and/or low platelets?
My neutrophil counts today were 1.6 and my platelets were 152,000. I will need labs prior to my next treatment, if my neutrophil count drops below 1.5 or my platelet counts drop down to 100,000, my weekly treatments will be discontinued until the numbers come up.
On 11/24, my neutrophil counts were already on the low side at 2.4, over a 4-week period, they dropped to 1.6.
I am a little concerned about the possibility of stopping treatments.
are the treatments affective if there are intermissions between them?
