Neutrophils
Curious- how low have your neutrophils gone while on chemo?

Hi Lucy,
My neutrophils were low and really low for my last chemo treatment so they had to reschedule my last chemo (3 weeks later). I am a 5 year survivor of HGSC. I hope that helps.0 -
@LUCY_BC I'm not sure what purpose this serves but the lowest my neutrophils have been was .63 back when I was in first line chemo, about half way through my cycles. At that point I was taken off chemo for a week while they administered a drug daily for a week to bring the level back to normal. This most recent time I received a shot of Lapelga on Day 10 of each cycle to avoid a drop in my neutrophils so they remained stable through out.
There have been a number of past discussions on OVd about the subject you might find helpful. Just type in a few key words like: neutrophils, neutropenia, white blood cells in the search box on the upper right of your screen to pull up the conversations.
Hope this is helpful.0
