Hi Hopeful. I am not on Revlimid because I have been so stable. I figured the day would come when it was time for it. Maybe the hemo will start it

I do know there can be other ways of measuring blasts. I do not fully understand them. The flow cytometry on the BMB aspirate came back. It reports 1% CD34+ blasts. On the same line it also says: approximately 81% of granulocytes with decreased side light scatter. In the interpretation it says "no increase in CD34+ blasts." Are grans with decreased side light scatter blasts? I do belive decreased side scatter shows immaturity of the grans.

It's so hard waiting for Thursday.
