Hi there, having posted before on a different subject and received some wonderful advice i would like to hear from other people who are taking Palbociclib but instead of taking the usual pattern of 21 days on the meds and then a 7 day break maybe you are taking it in a different way?, for instance 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off or maybe 3 days on with 4 days off? to try and maintain a neutrophils count above 1.0 . I am writing this post as my 80 year old mum has been on palbo and letrozole since may 2019 and started on the higher dosage but it was tapered down in beginning of august (75mgs) to try and maintain her wbc , she has done well with this but it is not unusual for mum to have a reading of 0.9 neuts so treatment has been deferred few times , we have had her treatment deferred again this week until 2 weeks time again as again 0.9 reading....i have read that some women are taking palb differently and there are 6 different ways to take it? Mum needs this med as it is working and shrinking the cancer.
Also anyone had injections to raise neutrophils?
Love to hear from anyone who can give their wonderful wisdom.xx
Many thanks rmichelle
