If my CBC shows WBC of 3.7, should I be concerned?

I had 40 sessions of radiation for prostate cancer in April and May.

While a 3. 7 white count is lower than normal, it is not critically low and should not be of concern. Your white count may have decreased because of the radiation therapy. Your body should still be able to fight an infection with a white count at this level.

Ypur wbc count is low, but below 1 is very bad. It is called neutropenia, and will make your body difficult to fight disease. Its from the radiation, be sure to stay away from from sick people.

Oh yes.. That definitely is quite a low White Blood Cell Count Although your cause, Radiation treatment for Prostate Cancer, justifies the low number of White Blood Cells in your bode, but still it would be very much better for you to take some medical help on this case
