Lymphoma and wbc counts?

My father is on R-Chop and about to get his 4 cycle. After last cycle his WBC count was close to zero and he was admitted to the hospital. Is this normal and what can we can to keep it little hig next time plus he is receiving long lasting shot to boost his WBC count. Please advise. We don't want to change the chemo because it is responding to Lymphoma.

Lymphoma and wbc counts?
There are many things you can do but make sure the doctor okays these things before starting. A lot of white blood counts is actually based upon feelings.


Exercise boosts the counts


Being optimistic boosts the counts


Starting a supplement called "glutamine" (Google it first, it sometimes boosts growth of cancer)
