Hi, @dgordillo Did you mean a WBC of 7.8? Is this from a differential CBC. Is there a breakdown of Absolute neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils?

Since 7.8 is firmly in the normal range, my guess is that the question means what it said: 78. I vaguely recall someone on a cll list mentioning being treated when her wbc would get above 100. Or maybe I dreamed that.

Yes, I meant 78 not 7.8. Here are the rest of the results.

I believe more information is needed before any opinions and/or more questions can be presented.

My husband was diagnosed in 2019 with CML. Its been over two years since he has had any treatment. He just didn't like the TKI inhibitors. He had a lot of side effects and was pretty sick. Last year his oncologist said he wouldn't give him two years. He had to get blood work done before pain management would prescribe anything for him. He does have an appointment with his oncologist in August. His blood work shows his cancer is progressing. Im just wonder what to expect.
