neutropenic
Hi, I went for my regular transfusion on Saturday and once again, my doctor was away. The day care nurse gave me my blood results and was concerned that the neutrophils were very low. It's now Monday afternoon and I haven't been out of the house since Saturday but I've still managed to get a sore throat somehow. I don't have any fever and otherwise feel reasonably well. I rang day care and the nurse told me that she contacted my doctor first thing this morning and that he thought I should be admitted to hospital and that he would ring me himself. I've heard nothing from him.
My neutrophils are 0.4 and my lymphocytes are 0.2
I know that some thing needs to be done to increase my neutrophils but I'm not sure of the significance of the low lymphocyte count. Are low lymphocytes as dangerous as low neutrophils?
I dread being in isolation in hospital. I'm hoping for a spontaneous recovery of the neut count. Wish me luck.
