Hi, I have had my 6 rounds of RChop for NHL, I've always had a problem with low neutrophils throughout my Chemo. Now 6 weeks later im on immunotherapy and I still have low neutrophils. Is there anything that I can take such as foods or vitamins that will help with this?? I was getting injections but my team won't prescribe these anymore.
Thanks
Hi GRNHL,
Thank you for your post. I hope you are keeping well since completing your chemotherapy and that you are tolerating the immunotherapy well.
It is advisable to speak with your team before starting any vitamins or supplements or changing your diet. It is important to eat a healthy diet to get a right amount of nutrients. I am attaching the following link to our booklet on diet and cancer: Understanding Series (cancer.ie). The injections your were receiving to help improve your white cell count are only suitable for certain treatments, such as the chemotherapy you were on.
If you would like to discuss this in more detail please contact one of our cancer nurses on the Support Line, 1800 200 700, Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm.
Kind regards,
Cancer Nurse
