Low white blood count

Hi,

I have recently found out I have a steadily falling low white blood count (apparently 1.6 down to 1.4 in the space of 2 weeks and then down to 1.1 after another month) and had a biopsy yesterday. So many thoughts going through my mind and wondered if anyone had any experience to be able to feed back.

Dr Google is not making anything clearer and I'm struggling to sleep properly with concern.

Any ideas?

Thanks

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat OTH although I'm sorry for the reason you've joined us.

    Hopefully other members who have been in a similar position will be along soon to share their thoughts and experiences with you but if you'd like to discuss this further with someone then do give our cancer nurses a call. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    Waiting for results is always tough but staying away from Dr.Google will help make this time a bit more manageable.

    All the best,
