No . It was diagnosed as NHL Grade III Stage IV. The usual medical exam showed the WBC Count ~ 56 which was disturbing so all the tests were u/taken and the diagnosis reached. The first cycle was performed on January 30:2012. employing the usual RCV. The Complete blood picture (CBP) following the first cycle and before the commencement of the second cycle showed the WBC count to be 4.5 ( implies the patient responds to the treatment). The second cycle was performed on February 21 :2012 . The CBP taken on February 28:2012 showed WBC count to have arisen to 35. After both cycles subcutaneous injections were inserted the patient .
