He must of had some blasts. I saw a CBC once, and it had blasts at 2%. Now, I didn't think a blood test would show this, I thought you needed a BMB, so maybe that wasn't accurate. He must have saw some blast cells in order to start the chemo.
I'm just a bit concerned that his counts (especially hemoglobins) aren't responding quicker. It's been only 4 days I guess, but the other day he was at 9.2 and yesterday it was at 8.3. I just wonder if all the chemo is still having an effect on his counts.
Up to a week or two ago he was walking a couple of miles a day. I am going to suggest some of these other drugs to the doc and see what he thinks. I don't want to be too forward, but I guess it's ok. I just pray he gets out of the hospital soon.
Thanks for your knowledge, it is quite remarkable. You're all in my prayers.
