You Answered A Few Question Regarding My WBC Count .

Question: You answered a few question regarding my WBC count.

It was down to 1.9. In XXXXXXX it went back up to 2.5. About a week ago it was back down to 2.0. I am scheduled for another check on the 11th of this month.

Flow cytometry came back negative.

My latest concern is myeloma. Should I be concerned? I am experiencing some back pain, although I did do some heavy lifting about 3 weeks ago. Red blood cell count and platelet, along with WBC would be low with myeloma, correct?

Thank you for the reply but based on results that have been preaented thus far should I be concerned? Myeloma, if I understand correctly, should also impact red blood cells and platelets which along with WBC would be low.

Thanks
