Neutrophils
Hi Ladies in pink,
I had my first round of chemo two weeks, supposed to be having second one today. Was postphoned till next week due to .3 Neuropohils. I was told by the onco to go home and stay ...
Yep been there done that 3 times! First time had zero neutrophils, fever and spent 6 days in hospital. Second time 0.1 neutrophils. By the third hospital admission was an old hand at it. They only admit you if you have low neutrophils AND a fever. Don't worry. It's more common than you think. Just take it easy, wash your hands frequently, stay away from sick people and take your temperature regularly. If your temp gets to 38 go to the emergency room. They will take you in straight away, take blood and put you on antibiotics. It's only dangerous if you ignore the fever and don't get checked out.
Take care
