Your doctor may suggest a blood and platelet transfusion very soon. It would help you with the fatigue and also avoid any potentially dangerous bleeding from your low platelet level.
Wonky blood numbers are pretty typical and AML can progress rapidly with extreme fatigue and weakness. You’re already feeling that side effect so make sure to have support with a walker or have someone give you a ride with a wheel chair. Save your energy. 🙂.

Actually I was given blood and platelets right away even before we had results of marrow biopsy. Results of CBC today showed worsening problems. I will go back to hospital tomorrow for more platelets.
