I have had 5 chemo treatments and have gotten along extremely well until after the 5th one. I doubt that there is a connection, but I have an infection in my eye, and also a bladder infection now , after the 5th chemo. Could it be caused by a lowered red blood cell count? It was only 9.9 three weeks ago, and is probably lower now. My oncologist said if it lowered any more, he would put me on shots of Prevacid ,I believe it is called. (My white blood count has kept in the middle of the normal zone ) Do you think the lower red count could cause the eye infection, as well as the bladder infection? Thanks for your answer. ( P.S. I was changed to Taxotere for the 5th treatment, and for the next 3 to come. Could this have a bearing on my question?)
