Day +29 - Bloods Count

I am feeling OK today. Today is 29 days after my transplant. Dr. Teh have scheduled me for Bone Marrow test on next Monday Noon. This is their standard procedure to conduct biopsy investigation at 30 days and 100 days after transplant, to check the engraftment, chromosome xy, and any abnormal cell .



The Blood count results on Friday : ( Day +29 after transplant)

Haemoglobin - 11.1 ( normal 13 to 18)

Platelets - 110 ( normal 150 to 400)

Total White Count - 5.1 ( normal 4.0 to 11.0)



Magnesium -0.40 ( normal 0.74 to 0.99) . Treatment received on friday is magnesium infusion.



I visited KL Tan at SDMC yesterday. He was admitted due to fever since Monday. KL have his allorgenic transplant done on Aug 2008, and the progress is good. KL was diagnosed CML ( Chronic myeloid Leukaemia) in early 2008. Typical signs and symptoms of CML patients are discovered during routine blood testing, some symptoms that are appears are rather non specific, such fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss. Some have intermittent fever, bone pain and sometimes bleeding. The typical blood count is very high white cells. I will get KL to share his CML experiences.
