I was at high risk for anemia during chemo, so I had a supplemental med (Neulasta Onpro auto injector) meant to stimulate your bone marrow to make more white blood cells.

The red blood cells and platelets were the ones that took the hit! If you are currently in chemo, hang in there, the blood cells will start self correcting once you finish chemo. The same drugs that are designed to zap the cancer cells take out these important blood cells as well. So, once chemo ends, it does get better.
