A member asked:
Can a cold virus lower your wbc and neutriphil count? i am in chemo, finished first cycle adf my neuts are 1.2 but i have had a cold for a week.

Yes: But your doctor should be the one in charge of trying to figure out whether it was caused by the infection, the chemotherapy or the cancer itself. It is an important distinction, as you may need, sometimes, to postpone chemotherapy cycles if the counts are too low.
