Blood Cancer Count

My son has cancer Stage 2A sen test not .... Is it common to delay treatment to see if his white blood cell count goes up? This would be his second round. They do not want to wear it with drugs. Does this change the prognosis. It has no marks of tumor, but they saw something in her lymph nodes.

Yes, it is common.

In general, chemotherapy is often delayed due to a low number of white blood cells, if the other posters are correct for the "traditional" case ....

However, in testicular cancer, we are generally entitled to treat neutropenia. In other words, no delay, and provide treatment to 22 days are "against all odds." Now, if the patient had some toxicity or infection, which could delay things a bit (but not much).

Blessings

The reason they want the white blood cell count is up because the fight against the infection of white blood cells. They are the warriors of blood and when the number is low, it is at high risk of infection. That is why they are pending. His body should produce more white blood cells themselves. Hopefully it happens soon. May God bless you and I pray for your son gets better.

Yes, I heard that is very common ....
