Low WBC, RBC & Platelet, should I continue treatment?

kally291

I was detected hep C last summer, seems I was infected by blood transmission when I was 3. I'm 23 and started my triple therapy Mar 29. So today is the first day of my 4th week treatment. Feel good during the treatment, less side effect. Only feel losing appetite and hard to finish 20g fat. I took my lab test this Wednesday.
I got the result today, it shows
HCV RNA, PCR Quant    not detec,
HCV Viral LOG               not detec.

But the WBC, RBC and platelet are abnormal, especially for my WBC.
WBC 2.1L    4.0-11.0K/UL
RBC  3.67L  3.80-5.10 M/UL
HEMOGLOBIN  10.8L   11.5-15.5 G/DL
HEMATOCRIT    33.4L  34.0~45.0%
PLATELET COUNT 99L   130-400 K/UL

Should I continue the pegasys injection tonight? I already contacted my nurse, but the phone call turned to voice mail. I read some articles, seems when having a low WBC you need stop the treatment. I'm just shock when I seen this, because I feel everything go through better than I thought before I start my treatment.

Sorry for my poor English, I hope I express everything clearly and offer enough information.

Really appreciate your reply.

OK ok much better. Your ANC level is 119. Your in good shape! It's low but they probably won't bring it up until <50 if not lower. Enjoy your shot and take it easy over the weekend. You will be fine

If it were me...... I would take the shot. I never reduced when my Dr's told me to but that is ME! This is your decision...not mine. If you do take it just take it easy and don't start up the chainsaw or anything like that :)
