I know it is a shortlived IVIg response, but at least we know his bone marrow is functioning. This is good news. It will be interesting to see what the plan will be next. Typically this will only last a week or less.

Good to hear they are at 30, he is at least not in the danger zone at the moment, and good to hear his bone marrow is still finctioning.

Thanks....this forum/site is missing one important detail. Signatures. I can't find any place to set up a signature.

Good point about the sigs. We should let them know -- I bet they can add it somehow.

Look for a PM either here or at the other forum regarding my username.

This is really good news about Tim.

Happy to hear his count went up. Hopefully, it will continue to climb - about time he caught a break!!

Well, the rise in counts is what he usually gets from IVIg,the second dose, but we don't usually take a cbc after the second dose. It doesn't last more than a few days, though. its only an indication that his bone marrow is 'functioning', but its nt really an indication of remission or that he is on the rise, unfortunately.

Its still good news for those of us who watch for posts about Tim though - I thought he would never get into double figures! Hope he is enjoying it while it lasts.
