Hi and thanks; that helps me a lot. It seems we always want to see what everyone else is doing, but we are all different. I haven't had a PCR in quite a while, so will probably get a BMA next month. When the Hemg is 10.4, does that mean I am anemic? Blessings, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 8/12/2008 6:41:40 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Jeanie, Can you remind me again what your Ph+ status currently is? Frankly, nothing in the report by itself is of immediate concern. Have to look at trends. I have seen reports that gleevec at higher doses may induce lower red counts but its rare. I would keep an eye on that one parameter. I worked in a Hospital lab while I was in graduate school. We used to collect blood samples from the lab staff to run as controls to check the equipment. I recall that about 75% of the people I worked with had at least 1 CBC value that was outside (High or Low) the range. Also, your own white blood counts fluctuate about +/- 10-15 % during the day in the blood. For example, I can remember a couple people who always had platelet counts above 400. The blood bank was constantly begging them to undergo a platelet pheresis so they could have some great transfusion products. Keep this in mind when looking at a report such as this. Don't look at the normal range as something that everyone conforms too. The CBC report trend taken over several tests will let you and the doctor know how things are going. **************Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget?
