I have been having radiation over the last several days to treat pain due to large metastasis in my hips. I’m due to start jevtava and cisplatin this Thursday. Just got my blood work back and my wbc is 3.5 and rbc is 3.48. Now I’m concerned that this will delay my much needed chemo Thursday

Hi there, no worries I think they’ll take you. Depends on the Dr. For me, Same therapy and my RBCs were in the 2-2.5 zone almost everytime I received Chemo. Wishing you the best!

My RBC was around there. WBC a little higher (5) and they went forward.
