I am officially neutropenic, with a white blood count of 0.4 vs a normal 4 to 11. I have at last reached that immunocompromised state that we have been worrying about for a month or more.
I am also anemic, with hemoglobin of 8, vs 11 to 14. So I am easily fatigued.
Platelets are at 70, which is still above the risky level. Between 20 and 50 they worry about bruising during normal activities, and if it drops below 10 I will get a transfusion of platelets.
