I was under the assumption that when a CBC was done there would be a "blast" count. I see that is not the case. I have the results from the BMB and I will look that up. My test are done at the cancer center in Montgomery Alabama. The CBC results are ready in 1 hour or less. My WBC is 1.3. My RBC is 2.4. My HGB is 7.6. That's all the numbers I know to look at. Like I said, I go Thursday for another shot and consultation. My wife usually accompanies me when I go. Does thus disease make you extremely sleepy? I have a hard time staying awake.
The doc has not suggested any other type treatment to date. I will ask him some of the questions I have gathered on this site.
He did tell me I would not be a candidate for a stem cell transplant. Age?

Like I said, I have resisted a blood transfusion to date. Just too many questions to think about. The reason I have resisted is this. I look at it as the beginning of the end. Just my mind set here.
