Re: Does anyone know much about reading blood results?

Dear Europa,

As a pathologist, I'm not worried at all about those numbers, but each lab has different normal ranges and so you'll have to discuss them with your oncologist or family physician.

Lots of things could have caused those minor changes including minor illness, medication, alcohol, your particular genetics, normal daily variation.

I'm pretty sure you'll be reassured once you talk to your oncologist. I'm in the middle of TCH therapy and most of my tests are totally OFF! I try not to think about it too much for now. I learnt for sure today I have hit menopause - @$#&%.

Good luck
