Hi! I'm new here. I've been having neutropenia for about 7 months now. I have lupus and my rheumatologist was basically passing it off as caused by medication. but my ANC kept going lower and lower. It now is almost always <500.
So I went to see a hematologist.
I've had a bone marrow biopsy done.
My RBC's, platelets, H&H are all normal, but my white count and ANC are always low. My white count is always less than 2.0.
I'm now receiving neupogen two times per week.
She has decided to refer me to Moffitt Cancer center in Tampa. My appointment is in May.
She thinks I may have AA -- but I was confused about that since I have normal other cells.

My bone marrow shows no evidence of abnormal myeloid populations. Cellularity is 50% which is read is normal, but the report says hypocellular (i'm so confused) mild increase in mature plasma cells.
prominent decrease of myeloid elements.
absent iron stores.
ctyogenetitcs - abnormal karyotype with trisomy 18 and monosomy 19.

Does anyone have any thoughts? I know I'll be seeing a specialist in a few weeks, but I'm pretty anxious about all of this and thought I would see if anyone had any thoughts.
This is all new to me.
