Blood test changes.

[lsutigers2018]

67 years old, 3.5 years on Imbruvica. In remission. Last week's blood test had warning flags all over for first time in two years. About half of them flagged. Had major prostate surgery last month at MD ANDESON. Ones I really noticed were NO MONOCYTES, HIGH ATYPICAL LYMPHS, HIGH BASOS, DOUBLING OF LYMPHS, ETC. is there a third party I can send these to for feedback?

Hi there,do you have the actual results and comments, a photo perhaps with your details removed. If you have your previous results that would also be helpful in interpreting what is happening here.

Are you seeking a second opinion? What does your CLL specialist say?

Hey if you want to send me a copy of your results via the chat feature on here, I would be happy to give you a layperson take. As Jackie writes, having previous reports to compare to is important. I wonder if the results are skewed at all by your prostate surgery and meds taken in connection with that. I would imagine your doctor would want to see repeat labs before drawing too many conclusions. I have had some odd results on my labs from time to time that normalized on later labs.

God knows its tough being an LSU fan and having cll these days. A win this weekend over the "other" tigers would help. Thanks to cll and covid I will have to give my tickets away and watch on TV. Giving Saints tickets away too. Thanks a lot, covid.
