I cannot figure out why my mother's hemoglobin stayed more or less the same for three weeks (held steady), and now it's back to the way it was before the 3-week stabilization period. The blood is still not dropping as dramatically as in the past, but...
Her neutrophils, while still not in danger zone, dropped considerably, too. I just don't understand. Her neutrophils went from 1200 to 600 and then swing back up to 1000. It's just really bizarre.
Her hematologist said she was excited about the 3-week hold and now her threshold for getting blood was lowered. I suppose that's a good thing. I just don't understand the wild swings and sudden changes.
All the best!
