Hi Rarity - I've been on watch and wait for five and a half years now. However my main problem is low white cells (they're usually around 1.5). I've never needed blood transfusions. I have IV Intragam every few weeks, and while it doesn't raise my white cell count, it helps my immune system. My haematologist thinks I could live for years more as long as I can avoid serious infections.
