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.

Thanks for the suggestion Mseth.

At the moment, i will get the results of the Neutrophils % from the hospital (No hema in this hospital) in order to get the ANC values for my mother when her WBC was at 3.36. Then i will ask the specialist in another hospital what is the next action for my mom.

I told my mom to just taking 1 Danazol/day instead of 2 from today. Will consult the specialist within this week.

How is your mom after consuming Danazol ? Hope there is no side effects.
