My dad's been dealing with aplastic anemia for about six months now, and he's 60 years old. Even with the medication, it seems like his body isn't making new blood cells, and we're really worried about it. Could you suggest where we might find better treatment options or what else we could do to help his condition?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's got a really high white blood cell count at 22,000. He's around 80 years old and gets really exhausted even with just a little bit of effort. Any idea what's going on or what we should do next?

A high WBC count can be indicative of various conditions, ranging from infections to more serious diseases like leukemia. The key to managing your father's health right now is thorough medical evaluation, so I strongly recommend discussing these concerns with his primary doctor or specialist to get the right diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
