So I was not able to have my second treatment last week.
Had the standard bllod tests before and they indicated that my neutrophil levels were too low. This meant two things:
- Postponment of treatment - I have my second treatment tomorrow
- I will need to take a drug in-between treatments to help keep my neutrophil levels up
A low neutrophil (and in more general terms a low white blood cell count) means increase risk of infection. Even minor infections can become very hard to treat and eventually life threatening when your body does not have the means (white blood cells) to combat the infection.
