White cell count too low..

Family member has lung cancer white cell count too low only had three sessions of chemo due to this.  Why won't they have offered any white cell enhancing drugs. Can I ask for this drug.  He has had more blood transfusions and plasma transfusions than chemo sessions 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Catkin although I'm sorry to read about your family member.

    If your family member gives you their permission you can speak with their medical team privately. This means you could ask them about this and anything else playing on your mind at the moment.

    Our cancer nurses are available for a chat on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m if you'd like to discuss this with them as well.

    Best wishes to you both,
