    Received my Lab Corp CBC results from the 14th.   
    WBC  was 3.6 vs the 2.57 on the 8th (Ref: 4.0-10.5).
    RBC         3.11 vs the 1.99 on the 8th (ref: 4.14-5.8)
    HGB         10.6 vs the 7.5 on the 8th (ref: 12.6-17.7)
    Not great, but much better than I started the month! 

    Supposed to get another CBC done this week.  Feel like the counts should be about the same. 

    Hopefully I can start back on the Gleevec.

    The past month is the first time that the WBC has dropped below the normal range.  The RBC has ran between 3.13 and 3.6 for the last two years on the Gleevec.

    The HGB has ran in the 10.s for the last two years (7.5 is  the point they do transfusions).

        The REF range in the range that is considered normal.  The middle number is the low points I reached that called for a blood transfusion.  The first number is what the blood counts went back up to and was still at a week after the transfusion.

        The hemoglobin and Red blood cell counts were the most critical for making me feel really rundown. 

        I posted the numbers because I have been watching them drop for 3 years and wondered at what point the doctors would get worried.  I was sleeping more and more and feeling very lethargic.  Misc info that I wondered about.

         

        Thank you for the kind thoughts and prayers.
