WBC low after 2 wk break from sprycel

Categories:

It worries me that my WBC count remains low (3.3), after 2 week break from Sprycel.  HGB also low (11.8) but RBC and PLT good.  Why isn’ WBC bouncing back?  Also, I still feel fatigue even off Sprycel 2 weeks and good RBC.  I don’t get it.  

Sarah - I'm not sure how long it takes for WBC to rebound/start climbing again after no TKI but I can say that many of my WBC have come in at 2.9 or around there and I continue taking them without any issues. I only took phosphorous pills at one point for two months because my levels got low. Have you heard anything back on mutations? Once you discuss a good TKI for you I think pulsing on a low dose would benefit you. Scuba has lots of knowledge and experience on this. Of course you would want to do it on a TKI which you have no mutation resistance for. I'm glad you are going to be seen at Mayo and believe you will get a good path forward.

Apologies about Mayo clinic I was thinking of another thread. Still same comment regarding the rest though.
