Hi MSeth
My biggest problem is white cells and especially neutrophils. Mostly my ANC puts me into the severe neutropenia category. However my well-respected specialist in Sydney would not prescribe growth factors as I don't have zero blasts, and he believes that GSF could increase blasts. If your Mum has zero blasts it might be different.
FYI there is a clear explanation about what blasts are on http://lymphoma.about.com/od/glossar...last-Cells.htm
It's great that you are so involved and concerned about your mother's treatment.
