Today we went for blood work and the results are as follows:
Red blood cells: 2.67 (low, normal 4.20-6.00
White blood cells: 9,100 (good, normal 4,500-10,000)
Platelets: 245,000 (good, normal 130,000-400,000
Hemoglobin: 9.8 (low, dropped from 10.3 last week, normal 12.1-17.2)
They are talking about a shot for his low hemoglobin, but we are waiting to hear from Mayo and their thoughts first since we go next week for chemo.
Fred also had a test done "alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme" test. His alkaline levels are really low and these results are being sent to Mayo also.
His triglycerides are also off the chart, so those are being watched also. Mayo should be getting a lot of test results and will have a great time next week trying to figure Fred out.

So dad is giving Mayo a run for their money and trying to stump them w/ his numbers, huh?
Do the low red counts mean no chemo next week?
Keep me posted.
Love ya,
