Hello
Today it was supposs that I have got my third session of chemotherapy but my white blood cell count was too low that I couldnt have had.
Could you please guide me how shall I do to increase my white blood cell?
Hi Shirins
I'm sorry to read that your chemotherapy session has been delayed due to low white blood cell count.
I don't know if there is any way that you can increase this count but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. This is possibly because this group is very active and your post has slipped off the first page before someone who can help has seen it. Replying to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list.
While you're waiting for replies if you type 'low wbc' into the search bar at the top of the page you'll see previous posts on this topic. You could have a read through some of these to see if anyone has managed to increase the count. You could also post your question in the ask a nurse section of the community and one of the specialist nurses will aim to respond within three working days.
When you have a minute it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far in your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
