Hi Teo,
Danazol is not known to reduce WBC but then any drug may cause different reaction in different people. Chelation drugs can reduce WBC, though your mother did not have decreasing count when she started that it can happen later as well. Maybe you can ask the doctor and reduce/stop chelation drug for a while to see if it helps. She has just started benefitting from Danazol, you can try stopping that next.
Her ANC is still above the threshold level, but you will have to keep a watch and see how it can stay within normal levels with a reduction in one of the drugs, if it is one of the drugs responsible for it.
Has your mothers Danazol dose ben reduced? You mentioned a higher dose in your earlier post. My mother has also started taking Danazol 200 mg* 3 times/day.
All the best for the trip!! Good to keep life as normal as possible.
