White blood cells

Hi Deanna,
Try to avoid infections because you don't know how long your bone marrow will be able to produce white blood cells and increase them when you get an infection.

When I was dx May 2006 my white blood cells were normal and increased when I got infections. During the summer 2007 I got three infections during six weeks and suddenly my bone marrow had lost the capacity to increase the white blood cells. I got neutropenic fever (almost sepsis) and since then I have to take Neupogen injections twice a week to keep my white blood cells at a normal level.

Very good that your RBC and platelets are fine !
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
