I have been having repeated CBC tests over the past 9 months. My WBC count has consistently been between 12,500 to 14,000 and platelets between 100,000 to 150,000, but on two occasions when I had a peripheral blood smear, the report was normal. Tests for HCV, HBsAg, RBC, HIV, Dengue, VDRL, MP, and Vidal were all normal. I do not have any significant symptoms. Could you please advise what I should do going forward? Can I consider myself healthy, or is there a need for further investigation?

Elevated WBC and low platelets over 9 months may need further evaluation, especially if persistent. Since peripheral smear is normal and no symptoms are present, continue monitoring under medical supervision.

She has taken all the medicines prescribed by the AIIMS doctor, but there has been no improvement. Her blood report is normal.

I was diagnosed with CML (chronic phase) in February and started Veenat 400 from March 6th, with my WBC counts remaining stable at around 5000 and my 6 month BCR ABL result being 0.953 percent. However, since July, I have been experiencing persistent mouth sores that have not improved with different remedies. My question is, what is the best way to manage this? Should I stop Veenat for a week and restart, switch to a second-generation drug, or temporarily move to a second generation drug and later return to the first generation one? My main concern is whether taking a break from Veenat will negatively affect my long term treatment goals and the possibility of achieving deep molecular remission at one year.
