On the other side, it can block the development of new blood vessels, which cancer cells need to grow and spread (angiogenesis inhibitor).

A blood transfusion may be required if you are anaemic. A low white blood cell count increases the risk of infection, necessitating additional precautions such as rigorous hand washing and avoiding infected people. A fever or temperature of 37⁰ C or above indicates infection. If a patient's temperature is 38⁰ C or higher, medical attention should be sought right away.
