Hi Bossywife- I'm not sure there was one particular count that we can point to that contributed to Dave's exhaustion. He too historically had low platelets and his whites have always been his nemesis (they are always the first to fall and rises the least). Even when he had a couple of red transfusions it never put a lot of 'pep in his step'. Because he had fevers, chills, headaches and bone numbing exhaustion the docs attributed it all to disease progression. As a matter of fact while he was in the hospital being evaluated for an infection I don't think they ever gave him a transfusion. He did have 2 red cell transfusions after he started on the Vidaza because those treatments really tanked his already low numbers. Since then he has thankfully not needed any transfusions and is currently on round 17 of Vidaza. Please keep us posted on how your husband is doing.
