Thanks for your reply, Birgitta. It sounds like you really have a good handle on various treatment options. I wanted to ask you more about the WBCs and infection risk. My hematologist claims that I will likely do just fine at this level and can carry on with usual activities, with some common sense precautions (hand washing, good self care). He did say to call, go to ER with any fever of 101 or over. While I don't want to hide in the house (and can't!), I still find myself wondering about whether and how much I should be working (home care hospice social worker) and how much time I should be spending at my kids' school. This must be a common concern! Thanks, Kelly
