Should I be concerned

[Jill4]

I saw on my blood results "occasional" anisocytosis, poikilocytosis, burr cells, ovalocytes and schistocytes. Is this normal for CLL or is this sign of progression?

Hi Jill

I think the real lowdown on what this blood reading means for you should be addressed by your specialist.

I am not a medical person but I suspect that it is most probably linked to being a little anaemic something many of us are. My feelings are that this is nothing to be overly concerned about, but I stress I am not a medical person, and if you are worried you should contact your doctor.

If your blood results were given to you by your haematologist, then had they been concerned they surely would have discussed this with you.

Best wishes

Thanks. These were just new words I hadn't seen addressed here. I will ask the doc. Thanks for your reply.
