Low white cells again on ABVD chemo

hiya, i used to have ABVD to, and i had to use the injections all the way through chemo, as i became very nuetropenic after the first 2 chemos and ended up in hospital with an infection...

i hope you white cells start reboosting in time for your next chemo... but i would recommend you have the injections to keep your chemo's on time. theres nothing worse than being gutted because your delayed, specially near the end =)

i will say the injections tend to give you bone ache, so i used to do them just before bed, as then i was resting to stop my bones aching =)

Hi Gill,

Hope your white cells start to reboost in time for your next chemo. All the best and Good Luck.

Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xxx

Hi Gill

I'm having these injections after every chemo and they really seem to work, my white blood cell count went up between 1a and 1b. I get a really weird spasm-type ache across my back about 24 hours afterwards. Ibuprofen seems to take the edge off it and my consultant said that was fine to take. Good luck!

Hi Hayley

Thanks for your comment. You were lucky to get the injections straight away and not have any delay with the chemo. I've felt quite down with this being the second delay but hope with the injections it won't happen again. I'll wait and see if I get the same kind of side effects!
