Good Morning Everyone!

    Ive been on 100mg of Sprycel since the 28th of February so my labs have been bouncing around a little bit but there is one thing that's been pretty constant - my lymphocyte% is creeping up and up. When I started Sprycel is was 30 and now it's 49.8. My Lymphoctye# is fine - well below the high. I have read that lymphoctyes go up when you have an infection but I dont feel sick.  Here are the #'s from my last CBC

WBC    4.0 L

RBC     4.01 L

HGB    12.7

HCT     36.6 L

MCV    91.4

MCH    31.7

MCHC  34.7

RCDW  16.1

PLT      192

MPV     8.0

LY%     49.8

MO%    6.1

LY#      2.0

MO#    0.2

Gran%  44.1

Gran#   1.8

Should I be concerned with this? It's starting to make me nervous...

Your absolute LY number looks fine, keep in mind that percentage means the percentage of the total, which has to equal 100%.  When you were diagnosed your neutrophils were likely very high and took up a disproportionate amount of your WBC percentage.  As the other white blood counts counts go down, their percentage goes down.  Just by the other counts going down, the LY percentage goes up.  Things are going to bounce around early on.  I don't think there is anything here to be concerned about at this point.  Seems like things are going the way they should.
