Waiting on blood test results

by beckycraze on Mon Oct 07, 2013 2:53 am

I am going every 6 weeks now for blood work...waiting on my M-1 spike and serum protein levels...WBC and RBC went down again...total protein really high...I can log on to my lab work--they had put the routine values in Thurs evening then when I went to check the last ones Friday afternoon they had taken everything off...hoping they are good enough so that I don't have to start chemo.

I hope someone here can relate to these problems & give me some insight on the lymphedema especially. He is now 61 years old but has an extremely poor quality of life. He thinks soon he will need a 24/7 caregiver because of these problems. He is fortunate that he has lived for 2 years now but I can't understand why others are reporting being back to work & living normally after treatment. Please help me with anything you can share.
