I'll be following this post because my wbc and platelets have remained in the normal range since I stabilized out, but my rbc keeps dropping slightly each blood draw. Nothing huge, but I can't seem to stay in normal range.

RBC can remain low for years on TKI drugs.
Calcium can change due to TKI drugs causing accelerated bone remodeling whereby bones release minerals into the bloodstream.
