Wow. What a story. Isn't a CBC kind of routine? Did steroids and/or immune suppressants make things worse at all?

When my mother's hemoglobin hit 7 I had to call 911. Are you getting transfusions or infusions for that?

I hope the diagnosis is clear and correct and that you can have effective treatment for the primary problem and all the consequences of this story.

They do CBCs all the time on TV, but not in Nashville clinics. I don't know which came first the HCL or meds. I am getting lab work twice a week and transfusions as needed.
I hope your mother is in remission now - my goal is to have lots of happy little cells (as in Bob Ross painting happy little trees) coming out of my bone marrow and I pray the same for others.
