1 year after high dose cyclophosphamide treatment

Hello,

I was diagnosed with SAA in February of 2011, I underwent the fairly new promising treatment high dose cyclophosphamide. I suffered from Iron Deficiancy since 2008 and in 2011 I was experiencing symptoms which I thought was the flu and low iron but as it turned out I had SAA

My blood counts at the time were as follows
HGB: 4.0
Platlates: 10
WBC: 0.5
Neuthrophils: 10%

Today's results came too:
HGB: 16
Platlates: 145.000
WBC: 3.5
Neuthrophils: 55%

I've fluctuated between ranges but have been growing steady since this past February. I've had some lasting complications due to SAA and the high dose treatment. I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in July 2011, six months after treatment with high dose cyc, as my body began to make new marrow and my counts were improving my glucose levels started too spike up as with my HGB my a1c at diagnosis was 13, it seemed that my HGB increased rapidly where my platlate took the longest and still not within normal ranges today. I now manage my diabetes with a pump and I am pregnant with my second child. Anyone else have complications if so which kind and how do you deal with it?
