Hi ~
I had my monthly CBC yesterday. For the previous 5 months, my white blood cell count has been in the 4-4.4 range. Yesterday, it dropped to 3.6. My rbc is also a little low. Is there a reason to be concerned?

No. A number of folks here would like to have a WBC that high. That level is what I call "CML normal".

Thanks, Trey. I needed some reassurance.

Dear Trey,
I just had my second iron infusion Monday. I have to have 5. The nurse called me a couple weeks ago and told me my iron level was 3 and it should be 20.Do you think I might need more infusions?
When do you think I'll start feeling better? After inf last mon I went to bed at 5 pm and slept until 10 am. Same thing this week after inf I went to bed at 5:30 pm and slept until about 10 am again. I thought I should be feeling better now shouldn't I. Or am I just being impatient. I take 300cc of something that starts with a v for 2 hours. Then after I'm done I have to stay there for an extra half hour so they can watch me for any reaction. I would just like to know when I'll feel better. I'd appreciate your input. Sincerely Billie

If the doc says you need 5, and you have only had 2, I would assume you need the other 3.
The iron infusions can only help to a limited degree.
