Anyone had your treatments delayed due to low neutrophil levels?

Posted by rahrah6263 @rahrah6263, May 24, 2023

My OC has delayed my treatments. I have had 9 rounds of chemo with 3 more left to do, but my neutrophils dropped to 1.2. I am devastated and could really use some guidance. How long does it take to recover to a healthy level?

Thanks Bpknitter53. I am making changes to my diet with lots of protein pack meals and snacks. My OC said I can resume treatments this Friday. Will keep in touch to let you know the outcome.

@rahrah6263 - awesome you're able to resume treatment. Hope you find fun and delicious stuff to eat that helps to keep those levels high so you can continue treatment.

Just this past Monday my doctor stopped chemo because of neutrophil . She gave me a Neupogen, generic name Filgrastim shot instead. I had to go back the next day. They checked my blood and it came up enough to take my chemo. But I still have to wait 2 weeks for my next chemo. I was intentionally supposed to have 3 shots, but didn’t have to. I might have to later. It worked for me. I‘ve had 3 treatments out of 12. Suppose to be ever Monday 3weeks and a week off then start over. My breast cancer went to my lungs, but PRAISE GOD I’m still a happy camper😊😊
Not letting my spirits down one bit. Whatever GOD decides for me I’m still a winner.♥️♥️
