what do the numbers mean???
my test results on the PCR test was 9850 what does this mean if you can help out on this one please do. a nurse told me that it would take 6 months to a year for me to even get on the waiting list for this. is this true thank you again trisha
Any hope for the Neupogen to help with not feeling so great? Fatigued, bit light headed, and a touch of nausea... that's the one that get's me.
Thanks Cougar. The Neupogen is on its way. Sorry for confusion on riba reduction. Based on weight, I'm actually overloading right now, and they want to run with that for a while. They expect to reduce at some point, but by then I should be well inside the guidelines.
How are you calculating ANC? I'd double-check the calculations wth your doctor or lab to make sure. My most recent ANC is 975 and my WBC is lower than yours at 1.5. My understanding is that a WBC of about 1.2 or 1.3 would correlate with an ANC of 500 and your WBC is 1.9. The rest of your numbers look OK.

Hello,
I seen the other posts about your stage. I am a stage 4 and they haven't even considered putting me on a transplant list. I go up to the Cleveland Clinic so I feel assured they are correct. And stage 1 or 2 aren't even considered cirrhosis...not until stage 4.
Go see a different doc! Sounds strange to me. I hope you do well with tx though. I just started tx (had 2 shots so far).
Sincerely,
Dana

I believe they used a calculator because their neutrophils were listed out as a percentage instead as absolute. On the janis website there is an expample. wbc x neutrophils % = anc
That is how mine are listed also. Peace
That is how mine are listed also. Peace
The formula I found appears to be a little different. It is possible that Goofy may need additional bloodwork to calculate his ANC. With Quest's CBC w/diffentials, for example, it's already calculated for you. I just want to make sure he's reacting to the correct numbers as his WBC doesn't look all that bad.
(Neut + Bands) (WBC x 101) = ANC
