Hi -
My 7yr old son just had his 2nd Remicade infusion today. On the drive home, we got a call from the nurses saying he's anemic again, and his WBC is a little low - 3.3. They said they will check it at his next infusion in 4 weeks.
I looked at his count 2 weeks ago, and it was 7.5. Now 3.3.
I'm wondering how low is too low?
Also, is 4 weeks too long to wait to check a WBC when it already dipped that much in 2 weeks?
He's on combo therapy with Imuran. Just wondering if this is going to be too much for him? How quickly can leukemia pop up?
So much going thru my mind right now. Just wondering if anyone else has any experience with low white count and what happened.
Thanks!
