Hi Chirley,
You know I have heard several dietists on video tell us that patients with leukemia and similar diseases should try to drink 8 glasses (2 l) of extra fluid per day in order to help the bone marrow. I have read the same info at some of the well known clinics home sites too so since dx I drink about 4 l of fluid each day - I don't know if it has any positive effect. In any case my bone marrow that was very fibrotic at dx har maneged surprisingly well during almost 6 years now. There is no risk for dehydration and the liver/kidneys perhaps can get rid of more toxic products when they have more fluid to work with.

You have some positive results with high platelets and neutrophils as well as lower liver tests . Hope you don't need copper next week! Take care and do avoid Christmas crowds - many of these people can be infected and give their disease to you even if they don't knock you over.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
