Day +1111 : Follow-up at BMT clinic

My Blood Count Today: - Readings in square bracket [] are result from previous test.
Red Blood Count (HB) = 151[150] (Normal 130-180)
Platelet = 256[188] (Normal 150-450)
White Blood Count (WBC) = 9.2[6.7] (Normal 4 - 11)
Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) = 4.876[2.613] (Normal 1.5 - 8.0)
ALT = 66[81] (Normal 30 – 65)
AST = 37[41] (Normal 15-37)
GGT = 68[60] (Normal 15-85)

I am fine today.

The blood count and liver function test results are normal. The white blood count is elevated to 9.2 most probably due to the flu.

The ECHO test done this afternoon showed that my heart is functioning well :-)

I still experience heavy cough and slight shortness of breath. However, the phlegm is very much reduced. I hope that this is a sign of recovery.

Doctor didn’t prescribe any medicine for the cough as he found out that my lung is clear. I will have a tough time to sleep again tonight due to the cough :-(

My next follow-up at BMT clinic is scheduled 5 weeks later.

See you next post :-)
