Re: Post taxotere blood results-advice please
I'm so glad this question was asked. While on chemo, I had the Neulasta shots and had great results with my wbc. My rbc was another story. My hemoglobin dropped low enough twice to require transfusions. I completed chemo five weeks ago yesterday, and my hemoglobin has dropped slightly again, since having the Herceptin two weeks ago. I was happy to learn that my platelets, which two weeks ago were at a low of 76 (and I still received the Herceptin) jumped to 237. Thanks for sharing everyone. I was concerned that my hemoglobin was dropping again.
