WBCs

Hi Pinebluff,
Good that your dad didn't have a fracture!

It is true that infections due to low WBCs are dangerous for us. I have been so afraid of infections since neutropenic fever (almost sepsis) 2007 that I live like I am neutropenic (have too low neutrophils - a kind of WBCs). I avoid crowds and infected people, only eat boiled food and fruits that I have peeled myself etc.

72 yo, dx MDS Interm-1 2006. Neupogen 2 inj/week Sept 2007 - July 2011 when I tried 1 inj/week until Nov 2011 when I stopped taking Neupogen since my WBCs now are normal. Good result with Thalidomide since June 2010.
