I'm New Here

Hi, I am new here. I am a caregiver to my 46 year old husband. He was diagnosed with AML in 2012. Went through 4 rounds of induction chemo & had a BMT in January 2013. He currently on cyclosporine & his counts are still very low. He is still neutropenic. We are told by the doctors that he is severely hypocellular less than 5% cellularity because of all the chemo had. Just very confused & trying to get some advice from others. Thanks

Maria,

Has the doctor talked to you about tapering the cyclosporine? The question is how Rick's counts would respond with less immunosuppression.
