I guess I had more issues sending this post over than I expected. I thought it went through the 2nd time. The title made things sound a bit dark, without the content of the message. Sorry.

Basically the gist of the message was that everything was good so far but there was one thing that my doctor was concerned about. It mentioned my current state of recovery as well.

One subset of white blood cells (lymphocytes) remained low so I was going to a hematologist to get it checked out.

Fortunately, the hematologist thinks that everything is fine and has released me after a few blood tests and monitoring and thinks that the low lymphocytes are just a function of treatment. The levels have made somewhat of an improvement since I first saw the hematologist.

Hope everyone is doing well.
