Has Anyone Had Their White Blood Cell Count Drop A Year After Treatment?

My white blood cell count was fine in November 5.3, but now has dropped to 2.8. Dr. wants to test again in a few weeks. Has anyone been through this a year after treatment?

I just had my 1 year follow up since chemo and my counts which had gotten up to 3.2 are now back down to 2.8-- doc just said it's my new normal. I freaked out over it for a while but now I'm choosing not to worry about it unless they do. I had been taking garlic supplements for a while then stopped and now I think perhaps I should try them again πŸ˜ƒ

Here too. I stayed in the normal range all through chemo (which ended in November, though I'm still on Herceptin), but my latest WBC is 3.0. They never seem especially concerned, do they?

Mine also dropped to 2.8 and they rechecked it a couple weeks later . It came up to a 3.8 but that still seemed low ! They didn't seem concerned .(However I did not do chemo; just rad)
Have always wondered what a low wbc means???
