Yesterday my white blood cell count was down to 1.8. The previous day they actually went up in the 2s. Which I was told is statistically insignificant. Meaning we are still on track. In fact, I also learned that with my classification of AML (M3 or just APL) the white blood cell count does not always zero out and that is fine. The important thing is new cell growth. So we are still on track and still on watch 🙂
Come on good bone marrow and good blood cells!
On the other blood counts, my hemoglobin has been holding steady a few days so no need for a red blood cell transfusion. However my platelets were low so I got a precautionary bag of platelets yesterday. Oh I feel like such the vampire.
