Is your creatinine consistently high? It might be high because you aren't drinking enough water.

It is not unusual to have incomplete recovery of some blood counts after treatment. Your platelet counts may also improve over time. Provided your platelet count remains stable that's still an acceptable level. It's the trigger point for starting treatment after all.

It's good that you are now well. Enjoy your remission.

Drinking more water could help.
