Is WBC Count Of 4000 A Cause For Concern?

Posted on Sat, 16 Jan 2016

Question: Hi Indranil, How are you ? I was your patient in TMC, Sep 2013..if you can remember, I"m XXXX & was registered through Dr XXXXXXX Parihar. My husband got throat cancer at the same time. However, due to letroz i'm having severe joint pain now & bone mineral density is decreasing. Done my DEXA & Mamogramm 1 week back only. Can I have Nutrilite Bone health for few months ?
is protein powder required ? My present WBC count is 4000. Thank you for all your support.

Brief Answer:
yes you can take

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I do remember you.

It is good that you are doing well. Joint pains and reduced bone density can happen with letrozole. But were you postmenopausal at the time of diagnosis?

You can certainly take nutrilite but more important is the calcium, vit D and bisphosphonate (risedronate, ibandronate, etc). protein powder is not required for this.

I will be happy to review you in my clinic at Apollo. My secretary, Ms XXXXXXX (0000) will provide you the necessary appointment.

Best wishes and regards

Thank you for your prompt feedback.

Yes, my overy & uterus got operated becasue of Ovarian Cyst in 2011.

Now along with Letroz, I'm taking Corcal 1000mg (Ca ) per day and Osteofos 35mg weekly once.

Sure, I'll take appointment for you as my small cyst is paining everyday.

Best Regards,
XXXX
