  • Hello and thanks for posting

    It isn't unusual for blood counts to take longer to recover with more chemotherapy sessions.

    I'm afraid there isn't anything you can do to increase the levels other than be patient.

    There are groups of patients having certain types of chemotherapy or who are identified as having particular problems with low blood counts that are given injections to stimulate blood cell growth. However isn't given routinely and is unlikely to be offered in your circumstances.

    I hope the counts start coming back up quickly so you can have your last treatment and go on holiday.

    All the best
