    Hi eve: His blood counts on Tues. were: WBC 2.1; RBC 3.01; HGB 10.5; HCT 30.7. They gave him 3 pts. of blood two weeks ago in the emergency room when he arrived due to routine blood tests for cataract surgery. The results came back that his HBC was 4. Needless to say, he did not have the cataract surgery. He was walking around feeling fine with HBC of 4! Now that he’s up to 10.5 he feels like superman! My poor mother 😉 Hopefully, it’ll still be up when we go to Dr. Feldman on Monday. I told him to eat a ton of pineapple between now and then and lots of veggies.

    What were your chromosone findings? My father was recently diagnosed with MDS – RAEB w/Monosomy 7. They want to start him on Vidaza. We are going to get a second opinion with a specialist in NYC
