What are ways to make your white blood cell count come up from chemo?

Neulasta (pegfilgrastim): There is little in terms of diet that is helpful, and the same for other life style change. The drug Neulasta (pegfilgrastim) stimulates the production of wbc's and is used to shorten the decrease in cells. The parent of this drug is neupogen, but must be given for several days in a row. The Neulasta (pegfilgrastim) is given the day after chemo only. In some cases after prolonged treatment a break might be needed.

Following : Myelosuppressive chemotherapy, the bone marrow will be compromised in its ability to make neutrophils (a type of WBC that protects against bacterial infections). Since a neutrophil only lasts 24hrs after it's made, you quickly run out if you aren't making them efficiently. To facilitate recovery after chemo, we use a gcsf, which stimulates neutrophil production to mitigate infection risk.
