Low cell count and diet

I am in week two of my first chemo session (the first chemo had to be abandoned) and now have a low cell count: can anyone suggest foods that might help with this?

  • Hello MauraO, 

    Welcome to our forum! I think the best thing to do in your situation would be to talk to your doctor or oncologist about this and they will be able to advise you best on what foods to eat to help you when you have a low cell count. They will have all the details of your particular case and will be in the best position to advise you on this.

    Feel free also to give our cancer nurses a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and they may have some suggestions for you and will be able to point you in the right direction.

    I hope you will also hear from some of our members who have also had a low cell count as a result of chemotherapy and that they will share their experience with you. 

    Best wishes,
