Hello; yesterday I had to go to hospital because of quite big pain on my thorax. They haven't found anything but they did a blood test and my wbc were the same than the last week at 10500. Il feel desesperate because I don't understand why they don't decrease under 10000. Is it normal after 24 days of being treated by tasigna?

Hi Francis,
try not to panic, your wbc will go down- maybe a little slower that you hope, but remember it is within normal range. As you had a pain in your throat it could be that you have an infection and that is why your white cell counts are affected and could be a little higher in order to fight the infection.
Normal white cell counts vary between individuals and of course vary according to bacterial infections, virus infection etc. etc.
Normal = anything between 2 and 12 (2000 and 12000) per ml of blood.
Try to relax and give your therapy time to work.
