[Zoe's Life]

Connie,

I don't want to say the lab is wrong. I am not a medical professional. I must be honest and say I don't really understand. Your hgb and hct seem to me to be in the normal range, but maybe your lab uses different ranges. Maybe your H and H were higher before cancer and they expect them to rebound to previous levels. Your MCV is a tad high, and even by my calculations your retic is low. For some reason I am just not coming up with the same numbers, but they are trained medical professionals, and I am not. If I were in your shoes, I would be asking questions so I could understand better. But that is because I am obsessed with understanding what is happening to my body.

For what it is worth, the aspiration is the hardest part for me. Drilling through the bone was not too bad.
