Blast Counts

My stepdaughter is AML and post BMT and aside from the BMT not working, has dealt with Kidney failure just recently. Now her kidneys are recovering (thank GOD!) but her blast counts are rising. She went from a 15% to a 17% in two days. Does anyone out there have experience with this? Can anyone tell me what to expect? The doctors will not treat her at this point because her organs are too frail. She just turned 18. Thanks!

You need to find a doctor that will treat her. Blast counts mean leukeimia is back. Thats not good. I don't know where you live but there are great hospitals st. jude rwj north brunswick n.j. etc. My son is in remission from aml leukemia. we just finished his 5 rounds of treatment but still in the hospital fighting infections. Don't give up keep looking for a doctor who can help you.
