I’m undergoing chemo for stage 2 triple negative breast cancer and have 4 sessions left of 12. I’ve already had 8 weeks of Accelerated EC the problem is my bloods keep coming back very low 0.3/4 and my weekly chemo has now been cancelled 4 times. It’s getting me really down and depressed as I feel the end of treatment will never come. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to help with boosting my white blood cells. I eat well, have smoothies every day and walk/exercise when I can. Totally fed up and would appreciate any advice.
Hi I googled as I didn’t know either! Its a type of mushroom you can take as tablets and sounded safe and looked like it might work,
Thank you. Will check with my oncologist. They are quite strict about what I can and can’t take
Good idea. Hope you have better results next time x
