My labs

[Myown]

Howdy Y'all.

Okay,I emailed my Np again and she said she didn't receive the hard copies yet of my labs, but she went on line to get the numbers.

This is the labs from first week of March. I started tx in Jan. I don't have my old labs in front of me for exact dates and all that.

But anyhow Heptimax is UND (thank God)
NP said my hemo stayed the same 11.1
white she said went down to 1.9
but she said total neut. is 1300

Then she said "you may have had viral syndrome at the time because your liver enzymes bumped up a bit". Then she asked if I feel okay.

I emailed her back and asked her to let me know what they 'bumped up to' and how often does she see this.

I know some of you guys said enzymes fluctuate during tx, but I never heard any of you guys use term "viral syndrome." Its probably something rare that only I have. I'm special. >hehe <

So the numbers except for the hemo I know nothing about. Any advice or comments?

Thank ya kindly.

Bet you a ***** that she meant "neutrophils absolute" and not "total neuts" which are expressed as a per cent on the Quest report

Okay! You got a deal!
Its a bet! What are we betting for? LOL

You're probably right though.

I'll let you know when I get more answers. Thanks for your help as always.

I have a fax machine and she faxed my last labs.  I really don't think it is necessary to wait a month for a heptimax. Gotta be a better way. The last time it took about 2 weeks or a little over. Even that seems so long. If a person has hemo problem I would imagine they would have to keep a close eye on it. I wonder if the hemo and all that comes back separate long before the Heptimax. Or else how can someone with a problem wait that long? I don't get it.

Hope you are feeling well.

Thanks guys.

This last shot was shot number 13. So now I am over the hump. I hope the rest of it goes quick. But now my mother has a major lump in her breast that she was trying to hold off on and not tell me until I was finished with tx figuring I have enough to get through. I wish she wouldn't have waited. But its painful and she needs to get it looked at. Always something. Its amazing mothers always put their kids ahead of them no matter what age their children are. I hope she will be alright.

see ya later!

Congrats...... I bet you are really happy today.   Ask the NP to print out your labs and mail them to you or put them in an envelope for you to pickup.

Hoooray!

THAT'S the most important thing.  And ya only got 8 more weeks to go, right?

I'm Soooooo glad you called the NP.  Still, I agree, ya gotta get those hard copies.

Great news, MO.

Is that what your NP said, or is that what you saw on the Quest lab report? The former, no doubt :) Bet you a ***** that she meant "neutrophils absolute" and not "total neuts" which are expressed as a per cent on the Quest report.
