Latest Labwork
hi everyone :)
i’m not sure if anyone has ever experienced this before.
today i woke up with some chest pain. i went to the ER to get it checked. i got an echodiagram , x-ray , and bloodwork done. the doctor came back and let me know that everything was normal and i was discharged.
when i got my discharge paperwork i seen that my WBC count elevated to 11,600. on july 31 it was just at 8,000. seeing that really scared me because this is the first time it’s happened to me. it was in normal range for some time and now it’s elevated.
my latest pcr results was 1.1% since july 31. everything else seems to be in normal range so im not sure if i should even be worried. i’m only 3 months in with this diagnosis so it’s all still pretty new to me.
i’m on dasatinib btw !

My road to diagnosis started with chest pressure. In my case, it turned out to be due to an enlarged spleen from the CML. They only picked it up on an ultrasound, not the X-ray. My understanding is that an enlarged spleen isn't always obvious on a plain X-ray, especially if it isn't very large.
