Be optimistic, it appears your numbers are going in the right direction. Of course the most important thing is how you feel. I hope well.

I realize my counts are fairly good, even though still outside the range of normal. My hematologist keeps stressing that. In fact, he has avoided using the term AA, although from what I read on the internet, all the treatments he's considering would indicate an AA course of treatment. My cardiologist would like to see improvement in the Hgb count, as that complicates a heart problem I have. Based on the stories others tell, I know my condition is not critical, I just need to be patient and not expect a miracle cure. Thanks for your words of encouragement, and good luck to you.
