Mary Ellen,

I interpret the lab report to be saying there are some dead lymphocytes and there are red cells that are higher than average in number and in cell volume, have less than normal hemoglobin, are of varying sizes, and are elongated.

But looking up definitions doesn't give us any context, and patients aren't expected to interpret this type of medical jargon on their own. It's best to ask the doctor to explain what the findings mean for this stage of your recovery. Perhaps some of these symptoms will concern the doctor but perhaps they are expected or at least not uncommon during ATG recovery, which may take many more months.

We don't need a doctor's explanation to know that going 2 months with only 2 transfusions is a great sign, so congratulations for that.
