Hi Ladies!

Today is day 7 for my mother after her chemo infusion. She took the infusion last sunday and the neulasta last monday (the following day). She has extreme fatigue, and her WBC today is almost zero. Just wondering when will the neulasta effect kick in? And is there anything that we can do to increase her WBC besides Neulasta? Food or supplements?

Her next AC chemo is next Sunday.

    KKmay, sorry about your mom's situation. As far as the Neulasta, I assumed it was kicking in when administered; the SE's sure kicked in. I ate garlic, onion, spinach, broccoli and almonds everyday during my chemo; all good immunity boosters. Saute the garlic and onion and throw in everything. Also, I hibernated as best I could so as not to overwork my immune system knocking down someone else's virus or bacteria. Rest & hydration are key factors, too. Sorry, I don't know anything about supplements. Good luck with her chemo journey.
