What are your absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) and (ANC) absolute neutrophil counts?

What does your CLL doctor advise?

I only have Info of WBC and the doc seems like she want the time to do the trick, but it has been over a year now.

Currently after my last infection I was put on zarzio injections, but i am having a lot of sideeffects and doubting on the long term effect.

Zarzio is a generic G-CSF to boost neutrophils. You might request a change to another drug like Neupogen or Granocyte You may find it better...

Hi I toohad problems with my blood counts after chemo. Although I was give various different anti biotics to ward off infection these actually made me feel worse. In the end it was just time which helped. Good luck
