Dr. Michael Thompson answered

Specializes in Hematology and Oncology

Question?: I'm not sure what question is. In general all counts -- Hgb, Plt, WBC go down after chemo and return to normal or near-normal before next cycle. Many variables -- especially type of cancer, type of chemotherapy. Talk to your oncologist.
