Lab results

[gizmoesgirl]

I have not been feeling well lately, can barely get out of bed most of the time.  Here are my most recent lab results can anyone tell me if they have anything to do with how im feeling?

WBC 2.5
RBC 3.46
HEMOGLOBIN 11
HEMATOCRIT 31.3

These labs are fro 1/29/08, I just had new labs done yesterday but wont have those results for a few weeks.

Thanks in advance for any advice

What tx week are you in? Probably is your low hemoglobin that got you floored. I hardly left my bed between week 5 and 16. Barely made it to the bathroom.

I agree with zazza, most likely your labs. What is your ANC (Absolute Neutofil Count). What was your HGB (hemoglobin) when you started tx? If you dropped more than 2-3 points in a week, it is no wonder you feel so bad.  CBC's -labs- should not take weeks to get!  Get a copy of every lab you have. It only take me a day to get my results! Ask your dr. to give you a standing order that is STAT. Sign a release so you can get them back when you want- faxed, or pick them up.  With low HGB or low ANC you want to do a CBC every week to make sure you are okay! Sound like you may need some procrit to boost your HGB.

I am in week 12 of tx.  My absolute nuetrophil is 1.1, my hemoglobin at the start of tx was 13.5.  at week 3 it was 12.6 at week 4 it was 12.2 and week 8 was the above numbers.  Obviously, I don't have my 12 week labs yet.  I have previously asked the doctor about getting my labs stat and he said he didnt see it necessary.

thank you again
