Hi again brothers !

Bloodwork back and all looks good except low white blood cells, and low “absolute lymphocyte count.”

Both are just under the standard range , but consistently under for 3 years.

Any thoughts ?

The radiation to the pelvic lymph node area is known to decrease white blood cells.

My white blood cell count has been low for 5 years. Life goes on.

Nothing significant...This level of counts like your baseline.

A month after my SRT, regular and abs Neutrophils were low and regular and abs Eosinphils were high. Doc didnt flinch. Now, 6 months after completing SRT, Neutrophils in normal range and Eosinphils getting closer. However, a month ago RBC and Hemocrit were normal, but test a week ago shows those low now. Two different labs. A month ago was Quest, most recent was U of Chicago labs. Only change was stopping multivit with iron for one without iron. Will see what doc thinks when they respond. Update: doc says all fine. Ok then.
