It is not uncommon for the blood count to drop while on chemo
therapy and often it will come back up on its own. However; if it does not
start moving upward a drug called Epotin boosts red blood cells.
Welcome to our forum, we are sorry to hear of your mother
being on the cancer journey. We are here to help you in anyway
possible. There is no such thing as a dumb question. You will find
this is a wonderful group of forum members. Warmly, lillian
my mother who has cancer in both lungs, went in
for a blood test today (her week off) and was told her blood count was 2.1 and
possible she won't receive chemo next week. we understand how it went
down, but the nurse did not offer any resolution to the problem. do we
just wait until the count comes back up? is there anything to help it
along? thank you
