Hi Neil,
Thanks for the response.
As I understand ANC is the donor immune system that is attacking me and I am taking immunosuppressants to get rid of these guys. It doesn't seem to be working; aggravating my GVHD.
ANC for the past year has been up and down.
Neutrophils Absolute
1.7 - 6.7 10*9/L
5.3 3.7 3.9 4.6 4.4 3.5 3.2 3.1 3.7 4.5 4.0 6.6 6.6 8.8 6.6 5.7 5.5 4.7 4.9 9.6
I have no infections in the past year. I had a sciatica attack 2 months ago and a recent steroid shot for it. Transplant was a piece of cake in comparison to the GVHD. I guess I could do it again at 78. My donor sister says the GVH is in retaliation for my teasing her when we were young. Her immune system is the boss.
