Agreed!!!! I had to stop mine as well because of low WBC's. Vitamin intake is important eating well all that stuff. But you know, you can do all these things and your WBC's can still be off. Every person is different. I'd be happy not to take anything for the rest of my life. But, that's not recommended for me. Hang in there. "
Love me

AI Overview
Yes, a low white blood cell count (WBC, also known as neutropenia) is a common side effect of ribociclib (Kisqali), and it's a primary reason why some patients need to adjust their treatment or even stop taking the medication. In clinical trials, roughly 11% of participants stopped ribociclib due to side effects, with low WBC being a significant factor.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Low WBC is a common side effect:
Ribociclib can reduce the number of white blood cells, which are crucial for fighting off infections. This is called neutropenia.
Doctors monitor WBC levels:
Before and during treatment with ribociclib, doctors will regularly check your WBC count.
Treatment adjustments:
If your WBC count drops too low, your doctor may adjust your ribociclib dosage, delay your next cycle of treatment, or even temporarily or permanently stop your ribociclib treatment.
Risk of infection:
A low WBC count increases your risk of developing infections, which can be serious. You should immediately inform your healthcare provider if you experience signs or symptoms of infection, such as fever and chills.
