Pancytopenia as of 2016/8/13
I'm very new here. Every year I have my check-up, last year 2015 was fine, but this year, as of Saturday I found out that all my blood counts are very low.
WBC 2.8, RBC 3.46, Platelets 78.
I read David's story, and I think I won't be in the 10 year + gradually falling range, since it only took me a year to crash from WBC 7 down to 2.8
I had my first BMB on Monday, and the results will be next Monday.
However, I'm living in Tokyo at the moment, does anyone know of a support forum like this here?
Add to that my iron levels are quite high 173 (normal range 80-120) iron combine levels very low 136 (normal range 195-273). Is that something that goes with Pancytopenia? The doctors over here don't really explain much, and I'm so new to this. Would really appreciate some of your experiences.
I just want to say I'm so glad to find this forum and read about all your stories. It gives me hope that I am not alone.
