Is it normal for your white blood cell count to fluxuate if you have multiple myloma (cancer of the bone marrow)?

Yes: Since multiple myeloma is an invasion of the bone marrow by abnormal amounts of plasma cells, the white blood cell count could fluctuate. Also some of the treatments may affect the white blood cell count also. Your hematologist is best qualified to advise you.

Multiple Myeloma: Hi, White blood cell is low in Multiple Myeloma, now the count even in a normal person can vary from time to time but now the question is how wide of Fluctuation we are talking about and also are you on chemo medication? If you are on chemotherapy then that could drops your white blood cell count significantly, you need to work with your Oncologist closely to monitor your count. Good luck.

Multiple Myeloma: Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the blood cells, particularly the plasma cells that make immunoglobulins. Whenever someone has cancer of the blood cells, all the other blood lines (red blood cells, other types of blood cells) become suppressed, and that suppression is variable and changes throughout treatment, so it is actually very common, especially if you are on chemotherapy.
