I had my last chemo last July 24 2019 and yet my WBC has been consistently low at 2.3, with my basophils very high at 2%. Has anyone experienced this? How do we increase WBC?

    Hi

    My WBC has remained at 3 (4 years later), but I've been told its the total neutrophils that are important. I actually know that I am ill when my WBC goes up into normal range (haha) - if I have a cold or something like that. My basophils were out of whack as well for about 2 years but eventually went back to normal. My MPVs are nearly always low. It also took about 3 years for my RBC to get back into low normal. It may take years for things to even out. And even then it may never go back to completely normal.

    I dont know of any way to increase WBC, just eat healthy and exercise.
