low blood count caused by chemo. Anyone else had this?

Had a transfusion last week for very low blood count caused by chemo. Only felt better for 3 days. Has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks

  • Hi San it is very common for counts to drop during chemo that is why you have bloods take before each cycle. The blood results give a clear indication of how your body is coping with the chemo and initiates appropriate treatment such as transfusions or sometimes injections depending on which type of count is low.

    Maybe have a word with your breast care nurse she will be able to advise you.

    All the best with the rest of your treatment. I finished chemo two weeks ago and am recovering very well.
