Am glad to hear your first treatment is completed. Is the plan for 4 treatments? One ever two weeks?
As I mentioned, I have the same diagnosis and am leaning what may be ahead for me. My past lab results show Hemoglobin and Hematocrit levels are normal . My Lymphocytes are climbing and quite a bit above normal and Platelets are below normal. I bruise easily and spleen is enlarged, but really, no other symptoms.
I appreciate hearing the details of your treatment and future appointments, as well as Lori's comments and explanations. I have my 6 month follow up appointment in Rochester tomorrow, Oct 21, with Hematology and Oncology. I have follow up appointments with oncology because two years ago when they discovered my Lymphoma, they also found early stage lung cancer and they removed the upper lobe of my right lung. So far, no reoccurrence of that problem.
Thanks and take care.....

My second infusion is today. My latest labs are not the best. H&H are 10.4 and 32.8. Platelets were 94. (No wonder I have no energy) I will speak to the doctor today. My infusions are weekly, ending on Nov. 4th. I've also lost 4 lbs since last week.

Just wanted to wish you good luck on your visit to Rochester tomorrow and hoping all your labs are encouraging! Oncology/hematology is my old stomping ground. You have a great group of doctors. I was just there last week.
Did you ever in your lifetime expect to be able to look at blood results and understand what they all mean? 😉 How our lives change with a diagnosis…
What is your follow up to check your lungs? Chest X-ray? CT scan?
