When can I stop using whitening injections?
After the whitening injection, it is important to review your blood work as ordered by your doctor. Usually after the trough period when the white blood cell count drops after chemotherapy (about 2 weeks), if the index is at or above normal, you can stop the whitening injection.
What should I do if my white blood cells are too high after the leukapheresis shot?

There are also some patients who have white blood cell counts of 10-30×10/L or even higher after the application of leuke-boosting injections. Some people even suspect that they have leukemia, but this is actually a normal reaction to the leuke-boosting drugs, which is just an excess of immature white blood cells in the blood for a short period of time, which does not need to be treated and will naturally drop to normal after a few days, so you do not need to be overly afraid.
