Hi everyone., went to get my chemo today, but my white blood cell count was low so i couldn't get it..Has this happened to any of you ladie's? Should i worry about this? I hope I can get it nest week....Jeana

Jeana,
Did you dr. consider giving you Neulasta medication?
It is a white blood cell booster.
Many patients have this while on treatment.
Maybe you can call your dr. and ask if you can come in before next week have the Neulasta and hopefully will boost those white cells so that next week you can start treatment.

Sending you a huge hug and huge prayers.
Jean

Jeana: I just had surgery for brain metastasis. Wondering how you're treatments are going. Hope you were able to do the chemo and blast those cells!!!

Survivor2be, As of now, no brain met's and I also had surgery April 2011 to remove the 2 that were in the back of my brain, and then I had one that was in the front and I had wbr to zap that one and so far, everything is good on that part..In September, pet scan showed a place in chest wall, lung and neck. Chest wall positive for her2, neck was not cancer and lung was not biopsied so I am currently on Abraxane and herceptin and the last scan's I had about 4 weeks ago showed the tumor in chest wall stabilized and the one on lung I believe he said was burnt off, and they didn't see anything else, praise the lord..Yes I do worry all the time and I try to stay positive, and you do the same..We will beat this!! You are in my prayer's, Jeana
