Well they had to hold the Cellcept because of my WBC and instead increased my prednisone. So now I’m working with insurance and doctors to get neopogen injections asap. Hopefully that helps WBC.

Hi @jackiez
Early in my post transplant treatment, when I was taking the full dose of Cellcept 1000mg bid, it caused extremely low WBC. I had several series of Neupogen shots over months. At one point, I was going to my local cancer center every week on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 9am. All the nurses knew me because I was a "regular ". The Neupogen shots were not that helpful. But once my Cellcept was reduced, my WBC returned to the low end of the normal range pretty quickly. Now that your Cellcept is "on hold" I think you will see a nice increase in your WBC at your next blood work. 😊 I was going weekly for labs to monitor the low WBC. When are your next labs?
