Diagnosed Oct 2 with Angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma. Had complete response from R-CHOP. Then in March had autologous stem cell transplant. Initially my blood levels were good but now my platelets and neutrophils will not stay up and keep bombing. Almost at +100 days from transplant.

Interested in others experiences. how long did it take for your bloods to come right? And stay stable? Did they do anything specifically for it. I get GCSF injections when neutrophils get terrible.

It's common for blood counts to fluctuate after a stem cell transplant. The recovery process can be quite variable, with some people experiencing lingering effects for months or even up to a year post-transplant. A MyLymphomaTeam member shared that their spouse only started regaining energy about six months after treatment. When blood counts are low, you might experience:
- Easy bruising or bleeding (low platelets)
- Increased risk of infection (low white blood cells)
- Fatigue and shortness of breath (low red blood cells)

Your healthcare team will monitor these levels closely and may adjust treatments accordingly. The use of G-CSF injections for low neutrophils is a common supportive care measure. Stem cell transplants can have severe side effects, and the recovery journey is different for each person. Regular monitoring and supportive care measures are essential during this time. If you notice concerning changes in your symptoms or blood counts, always communicate with your healthcare team as they may need to adjust your treatment plan.
