Usually, the white blood cell count decreases gradually after chemotherapy dosing ends, dropping to a low point in about 10-14 days, so be sure not to be lazy during the time that your doctor requires close monitoring of blood tests.
If a routine blood test shows an absolute neutrophil count below 1.5×10/L and a white blood cell count below 3.0×10/L, this often requires the intervention of a white-raising drug, which requires the patient to promptly contact and communicate with the physician to decide on the use of a white-raising drug based on the individual’s situation.
The patient’s doctor will decide whether to use a white-raising drug, and the dose and duration of use, based on individual circumstances.
