So my MO does frequent CMP, CBC, Diff, Testosterone, PSA as I'm doing chemo. Seeing my PCP soon and wondering about other lab tests to ask him to order. I was thinking Vit. D, B vits., lipids, A1C (done by MO when 1st saw her in April), Ferritin (as my hematocrit, hemoglobin & RBC count is slowly decreasing) & LDH. Any other ones?

On a spreadsheet, I track the WBC count, neutrophils, RBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit, RDW, platelets, liver #s (AST, ALT, bilirubin, albumin, alkaline phosphatase), Calcium, testosterone & PSA. Anything else worth following?
