Hi,

I am only 36 and was diagnosed 6 months ago. Yes I was told I was too young as well but I always knew I was "special"

My doctor has never mentioned lymphocytes but mine are always low (usually around the .6 mark). At diagnosis all my counts were low though but not low enough to require transfusions (Hgb around 90; platelets around 30-60 and nuetrophils usually under .5). I also had about 4% blasts in my periphal blood.

Isn't interesting what different doctors focus on.
