Neutropenia - low neutrophils

Hi Veronica!
Good that you try to keep optimistic and seek info !

You have probably received info about low WBC when you started chemo (Vidaza?). Here is very good info - I try to live as I am neutropenic since neutropenic fever 2007. Don´t forget to control your temp every day! http://hopecancerclinic.net/yahoo_si...f.21921853.pdf
Kind regards

You will find so much information on this forum. I think we all have had to go through the learning curve about Leukemia. Keep educating yourself, and ask you docs to explain what's happening in your body, and use this form for support and more clarification.

Blessings,
