Hi Suzzie and thanks for the update on your platelets. Did you get tested today? Where do you get tested? I got my potassium test this morning, but it won't be back until tomorrow. Waiting on these test cause a lot of stress, but I guess that's one of the things that go along with CML. The nurse that takes my blood said to me, " I bet you're tired of getting this test all the time?" I told her the testing wasn't so bad, it's the waiting for the results and hoping they are OK that are the worse. I was a little upset when my Onc told me that the testing I was having done might not have been accurate; this is the same place where I get tested for my cbcs so that wasn't fun. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of where the best place is to get you testing done. Mine is taken by the nurse at my PP's office and sent to Quest. The results are back the next day. My WBC and Platelets are both high. Let us know when you get tested. Blessings and prayers, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 9/1/2008 9:44:22 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Hi Jeanie: I hope your doing better. What is the latest on your potassium levels. I was wondering if it could be something other than the Gleevec causing it. I am still dealing with the low platelets. My doctors office was supposed to send me a slip to go for some additonal testing. I never got it, and then they closed down for a 4 day weekend. I do not think they are low enough to cause any problems right now, but like I said I was the one who brought it to his attention. I do not think he has been really looking at my numbers that closely because basically they all have been holding. My WBC has been at 3.5 constantly, and my RBC, HGB have been low. He has not felt like he should do anything as long as I have been stable. Let everyone know what they are doing for you, and just know my prayers are going out for you and everyone.
