Ibrance and Berberine combo

[Canchondo]

Hello, I just finished my first three weeks of Ibrance. My ANC IS AT .4. Yikes that’s low. After a week it only went up to .5. Does anyone have any suggestions an increase in white blood count? Also, I’ve been researching berberine. Does anyone take this well taken Ibrance? Thank you xx

"Yikes" is right! That's pretty low! I believe that I've read here that green juicing might help, plus I just searched and found some references to vitamin C, a multivitamin, folate (?), and B12. Just be careful with the multivitamin, many of them contain calcium and some of us have elevated caclium levels from bone mets, so it's best to check with your doc, I think..

Good luck with it...

Thanks Lynn,

A multivitamin sounds like a good option. I’ve never done the juicing thing but I’m willing to try. I’m taking 1000 mg of calcium right now because my doctor is injecting me each month with a medication that strengthens my bones since I’m on hormone therapy as well as Ibrance. I just joined this group and I think it’s gonna be a benefit not only for me but for other women that are so Confused with all these different options.

confused with all these different options.

Thank you and stay safe

Hi, I really upped my B12 and Folate with a good sublingual supplement. I also drink green juice and other fresh vegetable juices (i'm lucky to have an organic juice delivery company in my town), Not sure if you are into mediation and visualization but I also do that on the regular, visualizing white blood cells multiplying like a field of white flowers. Mine went up a bit on my week off ibrance
