Hi lotusbud,
Here is a slide (unfortunately not sharp) showing the blood forming stem cell and the two arms - myeloid stem cells and lymphoid stem cells.

I have read several posts at this forum where members discuss their lymphocytes but I think most MDS patients have problems with red blood cells, neutrophils and platelets - not the lymphocytes. My lymphocytes have always been low but within the normal range.
Kind regards
