Pancoast Tumor
Began Chemo Radiation the next week ;6 weeks radiation and 4 weeks of chemo with two episodes of
neutropenia
but finally made it through with severe side effects. Good news the initial pain he began Tx with was gone by 3rd day of treatment . A couple injections Neulasta got him through to the end .

Docetaxel induced febrile neutropenia
Following 1st cycle of Docetaxel on 16th Jan 2023, I had an episode of febrile
neutropenia
(Neutrophil count: 0.07 X 10^9/L) on 25Jan 2023 needing hospital admission and IV antibiotics. I was poorly for 24 hours. Oral ulcers which I had are said to be almost diagnostic of
neutropenia
.

update on Azacitidine
After cycle 4 I started to feel pretty rough and realised I had a fever during the day - not one of my common evening spikes and with likely severe
neutropenia
I had to go back in. My neutrophils were 0.26 and platelets at 16!!

Update 7.8
I am not inclined to increase the Besremi dose given the level of
neutropenia
that is currently evident. I am thinking of holding the dose at 175mcg for two or three more cycles. Repeat CBC/CMP. See where I am at then before making any decisions. We can discuss the next steps at that point.

What types of food to eat with Nubeqa, to help protect the liver or other organs?
Is it advisable to eat certain types of food with the Nubeqa, in order to reduce the chances of liver damage and/or blood cell problems like
Neutropenia
? If someone takes a couple tbsp of EVOO before drinking alcohol, it decreases liver toxicity and intoxication/drunkiness.

Endo is recommending radioactive iodine
Because I had severe
neutropenia
& hospitalisation after Carbimazole in a hyper episode last year, we are testing bloods weekly for 2 weeks, then fortnightly (WCC and liver function until 3rd week, then thyroid too). First blood test is 8.45 Monday morning.

Starting Venetoclax next week
I was diagnosed in 2018, had 6 months of FCR in 2019 which went pretty smoothly except for severe
Neutropenia
. I feel fine and my bloods are within normal range. My TP53 is negative but IGHV unmutated. Anyone had a similar journey, what should I expect? X

Dad was admitted into hospital 5 days after chemo due to Neutropenia
Blood work came back and confirmed he had
Neutropenia
(1.3). On Friday neutrophils were 12, Saturday 4 and by Sunday 1.3. He was admitted into the hospital and they started him on liquid antibiotics and gave him PMS 1 (opioid) for pain. Since yesterday he’s doing okay.

Low neutrophil count - update
At no point did the haematologist seem concerned, or mention
neutropenia
although the CLL nurse did warn me to go straight to A and E if I got any kind of infection.

Actemra and low WBC(1.9) and low Immunoglobulin levels. Asking for your thoughts.
Called rheumatologist to see if I should cease taking Actemra as I had read Actemtra can cause
neutropenia
. Her nurse called yesterday to say doctor did not think low levels from Actemra/ prednisone, and follow up with GP.

In hospital with neutropenia following 1st cycle of Docetaxel. Considering discontinuing Docetaxel, is that reasonable?
PSA < 0.03 in January after 3 months of ADT, pre starting Docetaxel. 8th day following 1st dose of Doctaxel, fever, landed in hospital with severe
neutropenia
. Will be in hospital for 3-4 days. On antibiotics and G-CSF to improve counts. Have trepidation about continuing with Docetaxel.

weighing treatment options
And we know with V+O there would be much more medical center time upfront, including some overnight stays and possible very uncomfortable days from
neutropenia
, for example. We are on the fence, weighing pros and cons about both.

CLL survival times ARE improving, thanks to BTK and BCL-2 inhibitors
[/i][u][i]The most common AEs were infections (30.7%)[/i][/u][i], bleeding (12.9%), fatigue (10.0%), and
neutropenia
(9.7%), while grade 3-4 atrial fibrillation occurred in 3.9% of patients. No new safety signals were detected.

Neutropenia
I had my 4th cycle of Carbo/Taxol and I am now
neutropenia
and my 5th cycle has been delayed by a week. Can anybody give me any tips on how I could increase my WBC. It’s made me very anxious about getting an infection and mixing with family.

Overactive again, but why? What to do?
On 12 July 2022, at my checkup blood test after 30 days, I had zero neutrophils (agranulocytosis) and was hospitalised for
neutropenia
for six days. (I had previously had carbimazole on block replace 20-odd years back when Graves was diagnosed, and was fine with it then.)

Update 7.6
Tolerance remains the same, with mild lymphopenia, borderline
neutropenia
, and mild itching. I switched to Zyrtec (cetirizine) to control the itching. It seems to work better than Claritin (loratadine), which is reported in the literature for skin issues.

Ruxolitinib Combinations Reduce Spleen Volume in Myelofibrosis: Combos with navitoclax/pelabresib led to more patients achieving reductions
The most common adverse event was thrombocytopenia, which was "expected by the mechanism of action," he said, followed by anemia and
neutropenia
-- adverse events that were manageable with dose modifications.

Efficacy and safety of new‑generation BTKis (primarily acalabrutinib and zanubrutinib) in CLL/SLL: a systematic review and meta‑analysis
Zanubrutinib was associated with a lower cumulative incidence of atrial fibrillation/flutter (5.2% vs 13.3%), but the incidence rate of
neutropenia
increased (29.3% vs 24.4%), while the infection rate did not increase (71.3% vs 73.1%).
