Spontaneous remission isn't unheard of, but your counts still have some distance to go, and these results don't tell you what's going on with the genetics. One CBC doesn't necessarily indicate a trend. What pattern do you see if you look at the sequence of CBC results over time?

Many people facing transplant face the tough decision about whether to wait in case of improvement, with a risk of getting worse, or schedule the transplant as soon as possible. It's worth a conversation with your doctor to ask if these results put any doubt into the plan. This is where the doctor's knowledge and experience will pay off.

Neil,
You asked about the Neutrophils. Attached is a graph of my RBC, Hemoglobin, Platelets, WBC, and Neutrophils. Everything seems to be trending up except the Neutrophils. I have an appointment with one of my doctors (not the transplant doctor) in early January and plan to ask him about the trend. Any thoughts?

Thanks and have a Happy New Year.
