Well,, my father (78)has panic low also WBC,, 3.8 ,,, he had done even bone marrow studies to rule out any abnormalities or leukemia. This is going on since I can remember,,, so the last two years he is faintingsweeting for not reason. Last June he visited new doctor for check up and the only thing wrong with him is his leucopenia. This hematologist/oncologist asked him to inject Vitamin B12 every month for the rest of his life. Ask/tell your doctor about this posibility for you to bring your WBC up,,,, let me know. I just want to know from another person to assure that my father is receiving the right treatment.
I hope you get better soon.
I am now taking Pegassist which is the newer inteferon treatment for Hep C. My blood count also dips pretty low. I just started again a couple of months ago, and my WBC dropped to 2.4 in the 1st month. My doctor now has me getting neupogen injections once a week, and it has helped raise my WBC to 3.7. I generally get a shot the day after my inteferon treatment. Even though it does cause bone pain especially in the hips and legs, it is well worth raising my WBC. I am very fortunate to have a doctor who is a really caring and compasionate doctor. He makes sure I have everything I need to get through these treatments. I completed a year of Peg Intron last May, but found out in September that my viral count was still high. I started the Pegassist in November. I am hopeful that I can beat this disease.
Good luck and I hope this information helps.
