Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have uterine cancer and taking chemotherapy. Chemotherapy destroye the cancer cells but it also destroy normal cells along with cancer cells. So your blood count is low.
Drugs like granulocytes and monocyte stimulating agents are useful in increasing the count. It is prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
