Hi Everyone,
i've known for about a year that I've had a low white blood cell count. However, it has come to my attention quite late in fact that this has been going on for four years.
I was referred to a haematologist back in March and have since been in hospital on an IV of antibiotics and had repeat infections since.
I had my haematology consultation last week Monday, where I was told that my neutrophils was a 0.4 and that I had abnormally large red blood cells. I have since received a letter saying that I have to attend a bone marrow biopsy.
I'm nervous and worried to say the least.
I've done my research and have kind of put everything together. It's just starting to make sense to me.
Why I always feel tired and why I'm getting sick all the time, and why I look pale in the face and exhausted, and why I keep getting rashes small little patches on my arms and legs that seem to just disappear after a few days. I also have joint pain and lower back and neck pain which just never seems to go away and keeps getting worse.
Can anybody advise if they've gone through this and what their outcomes were as I'm worried it might be leukaemia at the very worst, but also some type of anaemia.
