A member asked:
I have high b12 and ferritin, low rbc and flow cytometry showed less than 1% rare circulating myeloid blasts in my blood (not bone marrow). ive had frequent colds (that come with fevers) since october and have lost roughly 30 lbs since then?

It seems you have chronic anemia due to a chronic illness, less likely due to leukemia. Because of weight loss and frequent viral infections, a thorough immune work-up should be done. An experienced internist may be able to help you besides a hemato-oncologist. Good luck!
