Bonnie, I thought this schistocyte word looked familiar. I had these on my CBC after getting high dose Cytoxan back in 2017. I don't have them now. So hoping yours are just transient as well💗

I have been on all four for 2 weeks. I take Revlimid 10 mg daily for 14 days then off 14. I started the darzalex once a week 6 weeks ago. I looked schistocytes up and they are connected to TMA and thrombocytopenia.

Hi Bonnie2,
This is a new condition I have not heard of before but I am researching it. If I may ask, how long have you been on all four medications? The length of time could be a factor in the fragmented red cells, possibly. I am dealing with a type of anemia at this time which comes from low B12, which I never knew either. With each day, week, month, and new test results we need to research all medical terminology to understand what they mean. Ask questions of your doctor and people on this sight, we’re all learning new things about this disease together and we’re all here to find answers and support each other. God Bless you and watch over us all.
