My personal journal with breast cancer #NotHer2

Welcome to Not Her2, my personal journal of my experiences since being diagnosed with breast cancer. I want to use this platform as an opportunity to help educate and inspire my readers. Hopefully we can fight to end breast cancer and we can stop saying,  "Not her too!"  

Low ANC

This week’s chemo treatment with Taxol #6 and #3 Herceptin-Perjeta has been skipped due to low ANC.


Hey Siri/Alexa what’s ANC?


Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is a measure of the number of neutrophil granulocytes (also known as polymorphonuclear cells, PMN's, polys, granulocytes, segmented neutrophils or segs) present in the blood. Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that fights against infection.


Soooo I have to be extra cautious and smart about not getting sick and get any infections. Which means:


- avoiding crowds

- wearing a mask 😷

- using hand sanitizers more than usual

- moisturize my hands

- eating healthy

- drinking lots of water

- getting lots of rest


My treatment schedule will have a slight change. Thank you to all of you who have volunteered to taking me to my treatments and being flexible Special thanks to Maureen for putting that Google Sheets together.

Take it easy, Ave. Are there ways to raise the ANC or is it just rest that you need?
