Hi Birgitta
I don't have a copy of the CBC report....I didn't notice if it was .3 or 3.0
However, previously it has been zero. What has changed it that I started Revlimid, and also the 4xweek Neupogen regime to keep up my white count.
So, the doctor says, now it's a concern that my white count is up (2.2) which means my leukemia is probably back. Well, isn't that why I am on the Neupogen? And also, I stopped the Exjade, which some say lowers white blood counts.
Then, the red sores could be leukemia on the skin...(?) I got them when I started Revlimid......
The next few CBC's should be more telling once all of these meds are out of my system...
In the meantime, the Danazol seems to be working, as I haven't needed platelets in 2 months......

Once again, this roller coaster is such a brain drain!!!!!!!!
