Chemotherapy and certain cancer treatments, like Ribociclib and Anastrozole, can affect your white blood cell (WBC) count. Typically, WBC counts may start to decrease a few days after starting treatment, reaching their lowest point (nadir) around 7-14 days after treatment begins.

Living a fulfilling life while undergoing treatment is possible, but it requires some adjustments:
- Monitor your health: Regular blood tests to check WBC levels.
- Prevent infections: Practice good hygiene and avoid crowded places.
- Stay active: Engage in light exercise as tolerated.
- Seek support: Connect with support groups or a counselor.

Always consult your healthcare team for personalized advice.
