Abemaciclib - low WBC again - any tips?

Hi RunAndBecome

Sorry to hear that you have a low blood count and have to pause your Abemaciclib.  While I don't have an answer fort you I noticed that you haven't had any replies yet so this reply should move you to the top for the discussion.

Best wishes

I don’t think there is anything you can do, other than look after yourself as best you can. Mine dropped below 1 when I was on 150mg but has been ok on 100mg.

That said, it still goes up and down every month. A few months ago it reached the heady heights of 2.4 but was down to 1.3 the next month. Doc just said that’s the way it is…

Hoping a short break does you good xx

I’m on Abemaciclib too, 150mg twice daily, My WBC is at 1.5 so not as low as yours.
I read somewhere that B vitamins are important for building blood cells. I am taking “becozyme” - not sure it’s available in the UK but probably there is something similar you could get. My values went slightly up (1.7) - maybe coincidence?   I’m definitely feeling better since I started taking the vitamins. I’m trying to be physically active as much as I can too. 
I discussed taking these vitamins with my oncologist and she thought it was a good idea to try. Hope this helps! 

Thanks for all your replies 

Just had a call back about my latest blood test results and it’s dropped further to 0.59 so another week off the tablets and have to go for tests again next week. ️
