Hey Craig,

I'm going to be 46 next week, and recently my hemo put me on metoprolol once a day (25mg)... (she didn't like me walking around BP of 140/85)

There are many reasons why you could have low WBC's, and you really should see your Hemo/onclologist for the low WBC counts...

There are many tests they can do before a BMB (bone marrow biopsy), to check your blood for infections, and possible causes of low WBC's...

Ultimately a BMB may be necessary to rule out some of the worst possiblilities...

Best of luck to you, and keep us informed on your progress...
