Hi all I have just started pablociclib and knew low neuts was a side effect but was very surprised to find that after only 2 weeks my reading had gone from 438 to 150. Has anyone else experience of this please. I am starting my 7 days rest tomorrow and wondered if anyone had any tips on things I could do to help bring my neuts up? Thanks Lyn
There is some evidence that a response like yours shows that the palbo will be effective for you! It was published in Nature I think. I had low neutrophils for a couple of months and then cut dose. This happened again after about six months and now on lowest dose. However my mets have shrunk!
Exercise may help, and lots of speculation about dark chocolate on these sites; worth a try
