At the treatment center and just got my blood results - platelets have jumped back to normal and RBc is way up - good news. Unfortunately Folfiri seems to have blasted my immune system. Neutrophils have dropped from 4.0 two weeks ago to 1.2 after just one round of treatment. They are calling the doctor for permission to treat - I have already told them I am not comfortable going ahead today. (my father died of septicemia due to chemo devastating his immune system).
I may have to do the shots - I may need reduced dosage or increased time between treatments. Any advice on immune boosters or on what to do?
