@hello1234, did the covid monoclonal antibodies work? I hope you're feeling better from covid.
You have a double whammy, covid and BK!! I'm sorry to hear about your WBC out of range. My hubby says he feels tired and I wonder if that has to do with his very low WBC!! Is your BK treatment improving? My friend says that when her BK resolved they did put her back on Mycophenolate full dose. Her WBC did drop during BK but it wasn't dangerously low fortuanately.
I'm not sure how hubby's leukopenia resolves if Myfortic is the culprit, unless they remove Myfortic completely and permanently!! I am hoping the provider gives the OK to order Neupogen shots, wait for WBC to improve then put him back on Myfortic. Will know before end of week.

Hi @caretakermom 😊
Yes, unfortunately I am currently dealing with a double whammy....covid and BK virus!
I am soooo grateful for the covid monoclonal antibodies infusion. It made a MAJOR difference in 24 hours. I started out very scared that my deep congested cough was going to end up with pneumonia and after the infusion I knew I was going to be okay. It's a miracle drug . If hubby or you ever need it, don't hesitate to ask for it.
Regarding my BK, I will keep you posted on my latest labs when I get them. I am curious to see if covid derailed my BK progress or if I am continuing to decline in BK viral load.
Please keep me posted when you get hubby's WBC work back! Transplant will figure this out...to them it's just another day in the park. To us, it's OMG!!! ❤
