WCC counts after Revlimid

My mother took only 3 days Lenagio - 5 mg (revlimid brand in India), her platelets stayed within normal range but the White cells continued to decline for 4 weeks to 3,800 and then jumped back to normal of 6,900. Normal range 4,000 - 11,000. Even the doctor was surprised that 3 days of dose could cause so much change.
Each person responds differently and tolerance levels are different too.
If it can be tolerated its worth a try.
