Weird blood characteristics showing up in blood tests

Going through treatment

I’m guessing that things aren’t improving so well with my bone marrow. Diagnosed with AITL in October. 6 rounds of R-CHOP (complete response) and then auto sc transplant.

Today’s blood tests have platelets dropping (they used to be 120), and neutrophils up because 4 days ago they were 0.6 so I did the GCSF injections for 3 days.

There are new things showing up today in my blood tests that I think should only be in my bone marrow.

Platelets - 67

Promyelocytes - 0.1

Myelocytes - 0.4

Metamyelocytesx - 0.1

And, my ALK. Phosphatase is 206 (a jump from 121).

I see the transplant team in 3 weeks. Does anyone know what these ‘things’ mean? Any heads up appreciated. Thanks

Hi @stunned Thanks for your blood test results.
Unfortunately it is only your medical team that know your whole medical history who can look at at everything as a whole and advise you the way forward.
You are seeing the transplant team in 3 weeks so now is your opportunity to write down all your fears, questions and practicalities for that appointment.
Please do let us know how you get on, I know the waiting and not knowing is difficult but perhaps try and divert your mind.
Really look after yourself and be kind to yourself
