Anyone ever have low white blood cell counts while on Herceptin? Haven't have any chemo for nearly 9 mos. counts were good 4 months ago and now drastically low?

Happening here, too. My WBCs went from 4.6 in March to 3.0 this week. Herceptin? Tamoxifen? No one seems to know.

Counts are back to normal now but 3 weeks ago WB was 1.6 and neutrophils where less than 500. It was nothing to do with chemo, I was done with that in June and counts were good after. Still no answers??

@A MyBCTeam Member, what kind of pain is it? Sharp? Dull? Aching? Throbbing? Could be arthritis, and your doctors can check for that pretty easily.

On the WBC front, it looks like mine are coming back up; my latest count was 3.3. We're testing it again in a couple of weeks.

Okay herceptin girls... Anyone ever have painful feet. My feet HURT 24/7 doesn't matter if I'm standing sitting or walking. None of my doctors can really help me they all say they don't know what it's from but "maybe" from treatment. I only had the AC and 2 taxol treatment besides my year if herceptin. Chemo was over a year ago, probably probably 9 mos prior to the pain...
