Hi Maureen I’m currently on cistplatin and gemcitabine in a 3 week cycle I have week 1 and 2 of chemo week 3 off. After 1st cycle my neutrophils and white cells
crashed which my onc advised was due to the gemcitabine so I had to miss a week of chemo and be very careful regarding infection. They started me on Filgrastim after each chemo (an injection into your belly fat) for 3 days and then 5 days following each infusion and this has kept my immune system well enough to carry on with chemo. Just finished cycle 4 of 6 yesterday. Maybe ask your team about you having this if your immune system is really suffering?
