Hi
My friend had b/c 2 yrs ago and had some lymph nodes remove also. She had chemo and some radiation and has been clear and fine since.
Today she went for her routine blood tests and the Doc was concerned as her white cell count was as low as it was when she was having chemo 2 yrs ago.
She obviously is worried but i dont know what to say to calm her. What can this be? i thought she may have an infection some place in her body which might throw this count out a bit.
The Doc said he will test her blood again in 6 weeks, isnt that a long time? does anyone know why her bloods maybe off sync?
Thanks
