These are terms: That describe the shape and size of Red Blood Cells. You describe treatment for ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia), which is a problem with abnormal proliferation of dysfunctional white blood cells. Both are produced in bone marrow. Discuss these finding with your hematologist in the context of your case. In the meantime, realize anything that affects bone marrow also affects the RBC's production.
