Most of us have counts where several are not in the normal ranges, and your counts are pretty good overall. The Red Blood Cell (RBC) count is suppressed by Gleevec, and tends to stay low for many of us. Mine is continually low but my Onc says not to worry. The slightly low hemaglobin (HGB), hematocrit (HCT) and RBC counts combine to cause some loss of efficiency of moving oxygen around the body, and can make you feel a bit tired.
