Does Anyone Know How To Raise Absolute Neutrophil Count?

Kansas City, KS

My Absolute Neutrophil count is down to .77. Dr says if it gets to .5 I’ll have to stop the Revlimid. I’m on Revlimid 10mg and Velcade for maintenance. Does anyone know how to raise this number?

B vitamins- B-12. Try nutritional yeast (Bob’s RedMill) is a good brand. That’s what my mom who had ovarian cancer used. The doctors said she had the best blood. Mix a heaping teaspoon into juice or milk with a little unsulphered blackstrap molasses. She took it 3 times a day.
