bailie,

I'm pretty sure that 1-2% blasts are normal given everything else is normal...

Blasts (I believe) are just immature blood cells, and at any one point you will have some... It's when too many immature cells do not progress and stay as blasts that there is a problem...

DanL,

Thanks for the words, but remember to stay vigilante, we need to get far past our transplants and stay as healthy as possible... No time to let our guards down...

Best to all and may God Bless!!!
