Hello.
Sick for a while.
Low IgG 4 -- compromised humoral immunity. Mild increase spleen and liver and on CBC mild lymphocytosis. However, high T cell count (rising over the last year) now I think it might be 5500 - 6000 (normal range is 800 - 3300). My first TCP PCR was done over 7 months ago and found "small T cell clones against polyclonal background" The possible diagnosis was positive for Lymphoprolification disorder but such spikes may be seen in a reactionary.
Local Onc-Hemo wrote possible LGL...
I went to specialist for difinative dx... She tested AGAIN all the tests...
The same test was done again about 3 weeks ago. The spike increased..and the report stated "T cell clones (the word small was not there this time) against a polyclonal background, Positive for T cell lymphoma but can be seem in reactionary conditions. I have been tested for all autoimmune "reactionary conditions" for close to 4 years now.
So, the specialist ordered a bone marrow biopsy... Anyone out there, can you please tell me what to expect? I have opted for "conscious sedation" so I think I will be out (but breathing on my own).
AND... does this above sound familiar to anyone out there with rare labs and/ or other kinds of T cell problems or kinds of leukemias?
Thank-you!
Peaceful
I go tomorrow, so it you find this, and can write today, it would be great.
