Question 1

Accepted Answer

This is a very: Specific classification based on the french american british (fab) group. M0 is undifferentiated or "stem cell" leukemia.

Question 2

white blood counts 12.7 and red blood counts 4.5, what does it means?do i have leukemia?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely : Your question provides incomplete data so the answer is tentative. A 12.7 WBC corresponds to a 12, 700 per cubic millimeter in us jargon. The 4.5 would correspond to a 4.5 million red cells per cubic millimeter. Both of these numbers fall within normal limits.

Question 3

i have 5/9 symptoms of acute leukemia should i be worried  does this mean i have leukemia?

Accepted Answer

No guesswork here: There is no one symptom that can point to a definite diagnosis of acute leukemia. It is something that requires a simple blood test called CBC and differential count which can be run in any laboratory and the results can indicate if there is some abnormality that indicates a possiblity of leukemia which usually shows up in the blood  but sometimes it requires bone marrow examinat for confirmation.

Question 4

what could this mean? alt of 111 n= 9-46ab.neut. 12,500 n=1500-7800wbc 15.0 n=3.8-10.8we are worried he has leukemia.  lost his insurance so no dr.

Accepted Answer

Many causes: One high liver function and an elevated white blood count and neutrophil count does not mean leukemia. In a 29 year old an infection is much more likely. You would expect more changes in a CBC than this with leukemia. Who ordered the test and why? That would be the person best able to guide you. Hope this helps.

Question 6

what does it mean to have borderline leukemia blood results?

Accepted Answer

???: I'm not sure what that means. I guess your blood work is inconclusive and the doc cannot make a definite diagnosis. Tell your doc to explain what he/she meant with that and more importantly what he/she wants to do about it.

Question 7

when you are diagnosed with cronic neutropenia, does that mean it's a type of leukemia?

Accepted Answer

Not always: Neutropenia means low numbers of white blood cells. One of the many causes of neutropenia is bone marrow failure due to leukemia or a condition called myelodysplastic syndrome(mds). A good hematologist can check you and guide you to find the cause and a solution with proper treatment.

Question 8

in leukemia, what does a family history mean? how close do the family members need to be for me to be at a greater risk? if my immediate family members never had it, would a cousin having it put me at greater risk? please explain.. thank you?

Accepted Answer

: Not at all, you should not concern in general.

Question 9

what does ot mean when you have leukemia and all blood work comes back good exept for molecular count? it was 0.0007 and now it's 0.04.

Accepted Answer

What test?: What leukemia? What treatment? If this is a quantitative pcr for monitoring of CML then there could be some concern about loss of response. Need more precise information here to help.

Question 10

what does it mean when your told you are normal carrier type negative slt3 and they talked about chromosome 16 my daughter passed from leukemia?

Accepted Answer

Needs clarifications: First, iwhat your doctor meant is that you had a normal karyotype, meaning your chromosomes were normal.  I'm guessing you were told you were negative for flt3, a mutation that can be seen in patients with AML and that is associated with a poor prognosis. Your daughter's oncologist is telling you that your daughter did not inherit her leukemia from you and your other children aren't at risk.
