My counts are bouncing back up a bit

My counts are bouncing back up a bit was created by eklein
After two Rituxan infusions a year ago April, I've had counts above 200 for not quite two years. Last month I was feeling 'wrong' and sure enough my count was down to 110, I think it had been even lower based on how I felt. I worried I was coming out of remission. But since then I'm feeling better and today my count was 158, so it looks like I'm pulling out of the dip.

Depending on how I feel, I'll probably wait a month to get another count.
