My husband has cml and has for 10 years he is allergic to all of the chemo drugs including all the new ones.  He is presently on hydrea to control the platelets but his wbc is very high this weeks labs show 76. something. he also has an enlarged spleen. his platelets with the hydrea are 167,000. He is also on prednisone for his RA, because of severe flare-ups.  All of the other blood tests on the cbc are either high, very, or somewhat low, especially the rbc. has he already advanced to the accelerated stage or blast crisis?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has CML. Accelerated phase of CML depends on percentage of blast cell.  If he has blast percentage of more than 5 then it is called as accelerated phase.  If not treated IIT ultimately end up with blast crisis and acute leukemia. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
