Hi Frank,
I haven't had any treatment for my MDS since my last Dacogen cycle which ended 3/2/07, except Exjade to reduce iron stores. In mid 2007 my WBC was
about 6, but over the last eleven months my WBC has risen from 8.9 to 12.5. It may or may not be of some significance - time will tell. My hematologist is more concerned with my enlarged spleen, weight loss, and low platelet count (36000). Everyone is different so it's hard to say how serious the elevated WBC really is, at least in the absence of an elevated blast count. By the way during the eleven months, I could not see a correlation between my WBC and the times I had an infection - go figure.
