Suggest Treatment For Bone Marrow Cancer And Low Antibodies
I have CLL, and recent blood results listed my Lymphocytes at 92.02%. My Oncologist ordered a bone marrow aspiration&biopsy. They have only shared that my bone marrow is 70% cancer, and my antibodies are low. They are talking about an intravenous antibody treatment, along with possible chemos. I don t even know where to begin to ask questions....

Good evening. First of all u need to undergo some more test like immunophenotyping to correctly decide the type of cancer. Moreover in a case of CLL the indication for treatment are anemia, low platelets, TLC count more that 2 to 3 lakhs, repeated infections, rapidly enlarging nodes or spleen or loss of weight, fever, night sweats. Only in these cases treatment is required.
