White Blood Cells - Low

Public Archive

I was heading in the right direction but now have started feeling extremely tired and unwell. I left it a couple of weeks and booked a doctors appointment to talk it through. When my bloods were taken it has come back with a low white blood cell.

I had chemo and rads last year, have been on hormone therapy for a year now.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal this long after chemo? Am I worrying and I don’t need to?

Hi,

I have been on tamoxifen for 2 years. I tried to be positive and downplay the side effects… severe hot flashes, sleep problems, tired, etc. Recent blood test showed that my white blood cell count dropped a bit too but I never have any chemo & rad. In your case, probably your body need to recover from the chemo & rad. Take care.
