I had blood work done at the end of July and my white blood cell count was normal, I then had blood work done last month and now my white blood cell punt is extremely low. I have read that this can be caused by vitamin deficiency. Ha anyone ese experienced this? I'm just worried because the dr first question was if I had any family with cancer. I told him that I have not been taking my vitamins as I should.

If that's the case for your low white blood count, you need to have your vit A & D levels checked ASAP, and get better control of your counts.  To be safe, please have this followed up with your PCP who may want to send you to a specialist.  Have you been ill a lot, catching every virus that comes along, or do you feel pretty healthy?  Could be lab error, so having a blood count rechecked would also be a good idea.

If you are not taking your vitamins as you should you are probably in for alot more results being out of range. Start taking the suggested vitamins and get back on track with that before your next visit and lab work.
