We put him through the ringer with tests in the past couple days. MRI and CT show no brain infection or bleed. Echo of his heart was good. Slightly enlarged lymph nodes in his chest, but not alarmingly so. Has extreme fatigue and shortness of breath. Had his first RBC transfusion on Tuesday night (HGB was 7.9) and both that night and Wednesday he had night sweats and a fever up to 103 last night, resolved immediately with Tylenol. We had to cancel our trip to his Center of Excellence because he was so weak. Local doc wants to do a BMB tomorrow to ensure he hasn't transformed to AML. Two weeks ago he only had 1 circulating blast, I find it hard to believe it would transform that quickly. Sigh.
