Hi Ann,
You know I got my dx 2006 and still feel fine though I have needed much supportive treatment during these years like transfusions, injections for low white blood cells and drugs for iron overload due to 142 units of blood. Since 2010 I have been treated with Thalodomide + Prednisone with positive effect.

Your husband has aa very low white blood cell count. The most important of the white blood cells are the neutrophils (ANC) - when ANC is less than 1.5 he has to look out for infections that will decrease all counts.

Hope your husband is feeling OK!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
