My dad just finished up with his 1st cycle of sutent (37.5 mg). His doctor has been running blood tests on him every 2 weeks. His white blood cell count has dropped both times. His overall WBC now is at 2. However, his nuetrophil count is still good at 1300. Has anyone else experienced low white blood cell counts while on sutent? Does it get better or worse with cycle progression? Is there any additional precautions my family and I should take? We are already making sure to wash our hands, using purell, etc.. to avoid catching any colds etc.
Any advise would be helpful. Thanks.
