Hi Scott,
Your father is an excellent example on how dr:s make wrong predictions of how long we will live. Sometimes I wonder if they think they are God.
It is wonderful to read about your dad and his performance status
! I know you are thankful for every day he gets with good quality of life.
Blasts are immature white blood cells and when you have more than 20 % blasts you have leukemia.
Platelets are small parts of totally different cells called megakaryocytes. These kind of counts can never be mixed up in tests.
Kind regards
