Hi Marv! I didn’t feel at all that your had a self-centered post. Anytime we have something bugging us, especially medically, it’s pretty common for that to be the center of our focus and not selfish at all. Mulling things over is problem solving. It helps us to make decisions and find answers.

We have several members in the forum who have issues with low white blood counts, for various reasons. Some are associated with prednisone treatments, side effects from chemo or related to slowly developing blood disorders.
While we’re waiting for some of them to pop into the conversation there are discussion online regarding low WBC.

I’m not at my computer right now and relying on my phone to search for links to provide. When I do that, I lose what I’ve saved…grrr. So, I’m going to toss this over to you for now if you don’t mind. All you have to do is go to the top of the page and there is a Search window.
Type in:
Low white blood count
Low WBC
neutropenia
leukopenia
These are all names for low white blood counts. But please keep in mind there are many reasons that blood counts can drop. So most of these discussions won’t be relevant to your situation because you don’t know why yours are dropping.
And for that reason, it’s really positive that you’re seeing another hematologist in January. It doesn’t sound like your previous experience was very helpful. Having a new doctor with new blood results will be a good place to start for getting solid answers. Our blood is complicated and there are so many tests that can help narrow down reasons for changes. 😊

Do you have any symptoms you feel are related to the drop in white blood cells. Do you find yourself getting colds more often?
