The main reason for low white blood cells in breast cancer patients may be bone marrow suppression caused by the side effects of chemotherapy drugs, which leads to the drop of blood cells.
Breast cancer patients usually choose chemotherapy for treatment. Chemotherapy refers to the selection of drugs with cytotoxicity to kill tumor cells, and while killing tumor cells, it also causes damage to normal organs, especially organs and tissue cells with strong metabolism.
Bone marrow cells of the organism are hematopoietic organs with vigorous metabolism, so they are extremely vulnerable to damage during chemotherapy, so it is easy for white blood cells to decrease in the course of chemotherapy.
Generally speaking, if breast cancer patients have serious white blood cell lowering, they should report to the doctor in time, and can follow the doctor’s instruction to take white blood-boosting drugs such as Lycopodium to alleviate the symptoms.
