Just went for a regular monthly blood work today to my onc. My WBC came back as 3.9K /mcL compared to 4.4K/mcl, 4.8K/mcl, etc. Value range is from 4-11k/mcl. Is it too low? Is it normal fluctuation? I am currently on sprycel 100mg for the last 6+ months.
Thanks

That's perfectly fine, IMO. I was in the lower 3s (in the first few months of treatment) and my Onc wasnt concerned. I wouldnt sweat it at all.

I lived below normal WBC for about 5 years. Now barely at low normal. Below normal is the TKI new normal.

After my treatments for AML 25+ years ago, my bone marrow has always run low counts. My WBCs are usually around 2.5K. Having a count outside the "normal" range is not a serious problem. It is only important to doctors when they don't know the cause. You know the cause, so just accept it as a new normal for you.
