Hi, you touched home with this subject. I was always low white count with Tax. had to receive the shots, after every round of
this chemo. Bone ache, pain, etc., and my scans were normal.
My aches went away in time. My count went up as soon as I was off chemo. Herceptin does not seem to interupt blood count, for me.
It took a couple of weeks after chemo, and I was back to normal.
Everyone is different, this is just my personal story, but, it does come back to normal in time. Keep away from anyone that is sick, good hand washing, avoid fresh fruit and veg. This is my own experience, of course ask your doctor. My worst experience was being hosp. with neutrapenia and in quarantine. Around the holidays, no fun -- on with a new good year.
