The general consensus is that your blood counts should start to return to normal around month 6, however, mine did not, so consultant did another biopsy and saw that the marrow looked as tho it was improving but very slightly, then in month 10 things took a turn for the better and counts started to climb. Now currently at a level which is comfortable and I am transfusion free....its been 16 months and I have still a way to go. We are exploring whether a second dose would improve, or we carry on the wait and see road.
What I would say is tho, try not to get obsessed with your counts, even if you were 100% healthy they would fluctuate on a daily basis - we just notice it more because they are low. Plates drop when you have an infection - try to be patient. Best of luck xx
