Blasts in blood--CBC
Well, yesterday I found out I had some blasts in my CBC--(3)
Not sure if this could be from the Neupogen I am taking 4xweek or really is a bad sign. I have learned not to panic over any one test! But, I am concerned.
Any experience out there that was not bad news?
Dr Hemo stopped the Revlimid for now, and I am on Cipro as a precaution with my gut and had a slight fever when I saw him. Got an IV of saline as it seemed I was dehydrated--can't seem to drink enough. While the Vicodin relieves the gut pain, it also dries out the rest of the body, hence the relief from the night sweats, but bad for the GI tract.
Had a CAT scan of my abdomen as my GI issues contintue to be a problem.
Cramping comes and goes and I'm just beat!
Hoping for some feedback on the blast in blood issue!
