Two points isn't really a big deal during treatment (17 is low, but not dangerously low), especially since you stopped the pred right before that test. Most hemobart cases DO respond, sometimes it just takes a month or so to see the number go up. Have patience and faith (and it wouldn't hurt to keep your fingers crossed either).
