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.

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.♥️♥️
