      Does anyone know how to get your dendritic cell count checked?

      I was just reading an article in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, and it mentioned that people who had a low dendritic cell count prior to taking Leukine had a better resrponse.  Maybe I should get that checked before starting this medication.  Any words of wisdom would be appreciated!

      Thanks for your help!

          There are different types. Bood, bone marrow, and other tissue to name a few. In your case it would probably be a blood sample.

          Ask your doc.

          Good luck.
