Concerns about CML Treatment

Categories:

I was diagnosed with CML 2 months ago, due to high WBC count
Neutrophils 17,100  H
Basophils 824            H
Lymphocytes 2060   N
PCR BCR-ABL was 50.2%

After a month on Imatinib,
Neutrophils 2510     N
Basophils     60        N
Lymphocytes 690     L
PCR BCR-ABL was 21.01%
I am concern that the Lymphocytes and other WBC will continue to drop to dangerous levels. Is this happening with others receiving Imatinib?

Hi 

 

I started taking Imatinib when I was diagnosed in April this year. My bloods went back to normal after a month and have remained the same. No issues with them continuing to drop. Hope this helps 

Thanks Evie,

I hope the same will happen in my case
