Good morning @margot. I'm so sorry that you have been depressed. This whole journey has been quite a struggle, more due to personality than competence. This can have quite an impact on your health. Why don't you want the shot to bring up your white blood cells?
Here are a few suggestions on how to get your doctor to listen.

Thank you, Merry.
I pretty much do all those things. I have started a notebook and write down questions for each visit and things I want to discuss. I do communicate electronically. Some doctors are better at responding then others. This Onc gives brief answers or often says it is better to discuss in person. Well, I don't see him that often and he is cutting diwn on office hours. Thanks! Have an appt this morning and woke up with my chest hurting. With my WBC and Neutrophils down, I worry.
