chemo now with GCSF support
HI
its been along time since ive posted. I am currently having chemo to treat the breast cancer with regular bloods tests. i inject GCSF to support the white blood cells and this seems to be working very well with my wbc sometimes tipping 36!
i am nearly half way through a six month treatment regime and as long as my bloods cope the oncologists dont seem to be particularly worried about my hypocellular bone marrow.
However, i am concerned about the long term effect of the chemo on my bone marrow and the natural reduction in the bone marrow cellularity. I was 39 when diagnosed with a bone marrow problem..... can the bone marrow function normally for many decades or am i likely to see a progression in this problem?
Could it be that the reduction in my white blood count lead to the cancer in the first place as my body couldnt fight it off? Does that mean that im on a back foot if the caner reoccurs or another primary cancer?
Im not scared, i just want to know what i am up against in the future.
