Joe B Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 my WBC's got very low (.4) I was placed on Neupogen shots (had to adminster them myself)... I dont think there are natural ways to boost WBC's. I had an issue with them shooting up way too high after a series of those injections. However, I never did get sick even when my WBC's were extremely low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Wood Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Ask about Neupogen or Neulasta, which boosts WBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j ross Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 In the uk they tend not to give drugs but to wait until the count is higher or give a transfusion. This happened once to Barry when he was receiving chemo. He had to wait a week (he did not need a transfusion] but treatment commenced the following week.
