Hi Neel,
How frequent the blood should be tested depends on the counts. If they are very low (HGB, white blood cells or platelets) or high (Blast cells) the tests can be done every week otherwise I think once a month is common.
Kind regards

The frequency of tests can also depend on how stable or volatile blood counts are. If counts tend to stay the same from test to test then doctors may wait longer for the next test. If counts are up, then down, then up, then down, i.e., they are unpredictable, the doctors will probably want to keep a closer watch so drops can be dealt with promptly.
