Right ..so..to face it squarely ...the details are as follows :- Location ....on head of pancreas Size .......2.96 cm x 3.03 c Non respectable ......coz ...abutting Superior Mesenteric Artery ( 1 cm) Bilirubin count initially was 7.2....,, A temporary stent has been inserted in the bile duct via ERCP. Bile is fully under control now. The Pancreatic duct is also constricted. The tumour is pressing against the duodenum. Radiations have also been ruled out as of now. Currently undergoing chemotherapy ....Gemcitabin and Neb Packlitel .....1...8...15. 3 four weekly cycles. First cycle has been completed.........the second cycle is jinxed .....not starting only.....haha Dr says your WBC count is low ....(3.9). and Neutrophil count is 1.5 Got some skin infection as well......the dermatologist suspected Scabies...... So been advised to wait for two more days ....before the next blood test. Can anyone suggest some diet plan / supplements to increase the WBC count. Any inputs on dealing with the skin infection. Thanks.
