Missed treatment

Hi Annabell,

Yes, has happened to me. After it happened, they prescribed 5 days of injections after treatment to boost white cells, as my body obviously reacts to chemo drug by not producing enough white cells. The injections are self administered in my case, and have worked. Now just have to find how to stop my blood platelets dropping!

Good luck with next treatment.

Thanks for replying I will definitely ask about this next week good luck to you x

Hi I have the same problem they took me off my main chemo drug when I had covid I was terrified that I was missing out.  My platelets are always low and am going to ask if I can have and infusion to help can't see why not. Let you know how I get on.

PS my name is Kay

Hi 

yes this happened to me

once my blood count was low and they kept me on the chemo tablets as I was also having radiotherapy but I was given antibiotics as well 

the second time my chemo cycle was delayed by a week 

I think it must be fairly common or they wouldn’t do regular blood tests 

hope your white blood cells are back to where they should be 

Hi Kay 

I wasnt offered  anything to help them come up but after two weeks they did  come back up thankgod apparently it is quite common 

Thanks they are let’s see about the next ones good luck
