Bloods too low for chemo

Hi went for chemo today and as much as I wasn't looking forward to it, I'm gutted that my bloods were too low and I couldn't have it. Have to until Monday and try again. This has put me in a negative mood. Is my body not coping as well as I thought?' 

Has this happened to anybody else? 

 

I have been on such a high and happy time as my daughter gave birth Monday morning to a very healthy baby boy.

  • Hi Toni

    I am the sister, my white blood cells went down to 1.1 and after immune boosting up to 4.5.. Even though I told my onclogist and nurses they just rolled thier eyes at me and said yes it wouldnt do any harm to do this as it was very healthy but it worked!!! I have told other people having chemo and it has boosted thiers also.

    I took and still take immune boosting efferversant drink in the morning it contains 1000mg Vit C and also zinc, I eat strawberries, dried blueberries and cranberries with yoghurt. I also started to take an immune boosting shake from Holland and Barrat, it has been advertised on the TV by sports rugby player Matt something, If you ask the staff they will direct you to it. It comes in different flavours but I had the green one and chocolate one... it contains over 15 different super vegetables and foods and vitamins. it is quire expensie of between £18-£22 a pouch but it will last about 3 weeks so between cycles.

    I hope this helps and good luck!!!!!!
