Everyone's cll seems to be different. Three months ago hemoglobin and rbc dropped below normal significantly. I just reded the labs after three months and the rbc and hemoglobin are back in the normal range. They are back on the low end of normal but that has been the case for decades. My total WBC continues to climb but it has not yet doubled in a six month period.
I thought that when WBC rose the RBC declined but this is not the case for me so I don't know if this is good news or not. I had increased the eggs and added spirulina to my diet as some on this site had suggested to raise the RBC and Hemoglobin.'
I also sought out a second opinion with a CLL specialist affiliated with a University. He said that I only need to be tested once a year at the rate the the CLL is growing. The current Hematology doctor I have been going to has been testing every six months and more often when something is unusual with the lab work I don't have any symptoms other that slightly enlarged lymph nodes.

There isn't a direct inverse relationship between ALC and RBC or hemoglobin. Fluctuations do happen, the trend is important. You'll know more upon your next CBC check. Till then I'd relax. I think you're right in thinking that what you eat does matter. Were it the eggs? Maybe 🤔.I eat 6 of them at least daily 😃.
6 a day. Plus loads of fatty meat. Just to be clear, I don't recommend anybody to eat six eggs and loads of fatty meats daily, unless they exactly know what they are doing and why they're doing it. But in case interested in how something like this can even be safely done -a good starting point would be to read my posts and comments. And then take it from there
Right : For me 3 egg yolks a day have improved my Haemoglobin, my haematologist was amazed several years ago. Now I have reduced to may be 4/6 eggs a week.
My lowest was 9,2 g now it’s around 13,5g
It was known at the beginning of last century, but then there was no profit for big pharmaceutical companies .
It has no impact on my lymphocyte count. ( last one 92105/mm3)
A friend whose red blood count is too high was told by his doctor to stop eating beets because beets can increase red blood count. I also have started eating beets 3 or 4 times a week with my salad.
