Rainbow Star,
Many patients see a pattern where blood counts drop after each treatment, then gradually rise. The hope is that they will drop less and rise more with additional cycles. Of course, it's dangerous if the counts get too low. So you're asking the correct question, but it's a question that your family and the hematologist have to discuss.
