A member asked:
I just finished radiation and my reticulocytes are high (33.8 % normal is 1.5 - 16.0 %) is this from radiation? what can be done for my weakness/fatigue/breathlessness?

You did not say what you were radiated for. Don't keep us in the dark. But given the lack of information my first hunch is that your bone marrow was knocked for a loop and the high retics may be in response to this but speak with you team in Wi who know you. You may also be anemic and that is what is causing the weakness etc. Discuss.
