I hope they have your diagnosis settled now.

Aplastic anemia is still a lot to deal with. If you find out your absolute neutrophil count from your doctor, then since you also know your platelet count you can judge how severe your AA is by using the Types of Aplastic Anemia guidelines.

It's ironic that when you have low blood counts and go to the hospital, the first thing they do is take blood out of you! (I remember one visit where researchers asked my wife if they could take some blood samples. She said OK, and they filled 22 tubes(!), leaving her rather weak. It didn't take long for her to recover, but we were sure surprised at how much they took.)

Please let us know what the doctor advises you to do, or what treatments are suggested.
