Hello All. I have a few questions for you. First of all, we just returned from Rochester and there they lowered his platelet transfusion threshold to 10 instead of 20 in order to lower the # of transfusions he receives. He still has not had red blood cells yet but the levels have fallen to 8.5 so I imagine that is on the horizon. His white cells have climbed to 2.1 this last Monday but down to 1.9 today. Today his nurse told him there were some nucleated red blood cells in his CBC. From what I have read online, that is a bad thing but in Aplastic Anemia is it bad? We are only 3 1/2 weeks out from ATG treatment. What are your thoughts on platelet transfusions and nucleated red blood cells? Thank you.
