My last blood results show my neutrophils have gone up and were 1.6, highest they've been for a while and that was on my last week of ibrance. However my tumour markers are up to 91 and had got down to 68 a few months ago.

I've started taking cocalciferol, would this affect my blood results?

Also I had my first zolondronic acid treatment last Friday, is this likely to affect any of the above.?

I'm not going to worry about it as I'm off to the Outer Hebrides tomorrow where I'll be staying til January! Live for today....

Don't worry about that tumor markers (look whose talking!) Seriously it's not that high and many many docs don't follow naked d d at all.

NP - I got a nice unexpected laugh with the typo your spell check defaulted to. Thanks!

That is hysterical! 😆🤣😅

My markers are trickling up too but my doctor, like others, say that they rely on other factors. You are not seeing a sharp incline so that seems favorable.

Enjoy your trip. You prompted me to google Outer Hebrides. I found this amusing citation on Wikipedia. My Irish grandmother told all sorts of stories, so this gave me a chuckle.

In Irish mythology the islands were the home of the Fomorians, described as "huge and ugly" and "ship men of the sea". They were pirates, extracting tribute from the coasts of Ireland and one of their kings was Indech mac Dé Domnand (i.e. Indech, son of the goddess Domnu, who ruled over the deep seas)

Enjoy your trip! I don't know about neutraphils, but something to keep in mind is that TMs are "not precise" and a change that small may be meaningless as far as response to cancer treatment is concerned.
