Clariton Not Working For Ragweed And Goldenrod Allergies. Will Zyrtek Help?
My boyfriend had leukemia 2 years ago and went through chemo treatments and was in remission. Today he was told his white count was 62. I m not sure what type of leukemia it was but I know it was in the lymphnodes in the stomach. I know this means the leukemia is back and am worried about his chances of beating this again.

Hi,
I understand your concern. Before labeling it as relapse , we need to get his complete blood counts with peripheral blood picture to look for any atypical cells. He might need Bone Marrow Examination .It would be better if you go to his previous treating doctor , who must be aware of his past treatment history and would be wiser in evaluating him. Hope it helps.
