Leucocytes and monocytes?

Hi Rose,
Good with increased platelets !

Do you know your Husband's leukocyte count and monocyte count? Have they looked at his peripheral blood blast count? All patients with diseases like MDS have a little blast cells in blood but you ought to know if they have increased.

It is true that MDS is a confusing disease - even experts are often lost when they should decide about treatment.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
