I am taking ponatinib like Jeanie in Tampa. I need to take only one pill a week
to keep the counts low. the counts do fluctuate from time to time. There does
not seem to an answer for the white blood cells to have increased so suddenly.
My oncologist did not think it was a change to blast phase. So I go once a week
or once every two weeks to check them. John B.

Hi John,
First let me say hello to your wife, and believe me I personally know what she
has been going through.
Now what I can't understand why your white blood count went over 100,000. And
what pill have you been taking? Usually you need to be taking more then 1 pill
and that should be every day. So John I am really puzzled.
I wish you as well as your wife the very best, because of mainly what you
wrote. Yes, life is good.
If you have been reading any of my posts I always end them with 18's which is a
symbol for life.
18's,
Marty

Hi Jeanie and to all: Well, where do I start. Before last Christmas, I was not
feeling very well. My oncologist said if I felt worse go to emergency, which I
did on Dec 26. I had pneumonia and as I result my heart was having trouble. In
addition, my white blood count went over 100,000. I was in hospital until Jan
16 when I was transferred to a rehab centre to gain back some strength. I
arrived back at home last Saturday, so glad to be home I can't begin to say.
All is well as far as the things that were wrong. Mind you I have to gain a lot
of weight back. The leukemia is back to normal and I am on 1 pill per week.
That was along time to be away and I was difficult for my wife also. Life is
good John B
