I was wondering if anyone had any idea how I can help him boost his white blood cell count, or anything important I should be asking his Dr?  He had a Neulasta injection a week ago after the chemo ended but the Dr. said we have to wait another week for the next one.Thanks,Lauren  Laurenrg Mon, 09 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT I am so sorry to hear about what your Dad is going through.  Adriamiacin is a tough chemo.  I had four rounds of it.  The Neulasta shot will help quite a bit.  He needs to be careful when being in public.  I know that is tough to do.  If they are giving him antibiotics then he should be better soon. God bless you and your Dad!
