Sure, it can. Of course, you should always consult your doc. I am 6+ years post sct. My reds and whites are always a little low....goes with the Revlimid, I think. I feel pretty good but do tire easily after most any activity. I think it just goes with the territory. Good luck

Greg I watch my grandson three days a week and I am so glad he still takes a nap every day He will be three in May. I don’t know what I will do when he doesn’t take a nap anymore. I have to take a nap with him every day. I love watching him but I will be glad when he is in school so I will only watch him when he has a day off from school. And in the summer. Emma

From the International Myeloma Foundation:

Neutropenia (low levels of neutrophils) and Thrombocytopenia (decreased platelet levels)

Revlimid causes low white blood cells (neutropenia) and low platelets (thrombocytopenia) in most people. You may need a blood transfusion or certain medicines, if your blood counts drop too low.
