Today I had chemo for the 5th treatment and my white blood cell count has dropped to 1.7. The nurse talked to my Dr. and he said to go ahead with the chemo today even though my WBC was so low. Has anyone else had that side effect and should it be treated? I have been very sick and unable to eat hardly anything for over a week. I am going to work very hard to get something down. The good thing about chemo is they give me 1 bag of fluids before chemo, and another bag after. I sure did need those fluids today. I feel better some, but still have nausea. Sores on my neck haven't cleared up and my Dr. gave me a highly strong cortiocosteriod cream today so I am using that. But I am worried about the WBC. Thanks, Angel
