Well for the second month in a row my absolute lymphocyte count was down to around 80K, which is 20% lower, and where it was back in June.
Under normal circumstances, I should be happy about that, but the percent lymphocytes is high at 97%, and this was the first time my platelets dropped below 200 to 195. They had never been below 218 before. (Low platelets is the first sign of bone marrow failure).
That's still well within the normal range (140 to 400), but is reason for concern, especially since my spleen is noticable, and can be annoying at times. (The spleen has also been known to collect and destroy platelets, necessitating removal.)
There is too much too worry about if you let it. So I won't, at least for now.
Of course if next months trend is in the same direction, I may have to start worrying. :(
