Lab Update

I hoped to put the spreadsheet here for Andy's labs, but I can't figure out how to post a document, so here's the overview, last year Andy's "sedimentation rate" AKA-"ESR"was elevated-49 (normal values less than 17) they did repeat the test a couple of times and it remained the same till 3/6/12 when it had increased to 112.  (this is a large inflammatory change) In addition his WBC's now are High-17.9 (normal-4.5-10.5)  Initially thought to possibly be due to a lung infection which they initially treated with antibiotics Zpack , then Doxycycline plus Prednisone to hit the inflammatory changes (which did seem to make Andy's symptoms improve)  He has developed mild anemia over the past 2 years which could be attributed to not eating well but in light of the other labs and CT is probably due to the lymphoma.  He also has developed elevated platelets 630 (normal 181-353) which puts him at risk of having clots in his blood vessels and organs. 

If any of you want a copy of the scanned CT scan, Andy or I can email it to you.  I also mapped the tumors on a word doc but it doesn't view correctly in my iPhone or my iPad, but does on the computer, if anyone is interested in it.
