Blood Results from 1/20/12

Okay so I had my doctor appointment on Friday 1/20/12 and my lungs are staying completely clear, thanks to the diuretic that Dr. Bajwa has had me on.  It has been a blessing to have them drain with just a pill and not having a needle stuck in my back to drain under the lungs.
However my blood work results are a bit confusing to me since White, Red blood cells as well as platelets are low.  I completed chemo mid October, so I would have thought those counts would have gotten back to normal by now, but nope my body has to be difficult     :0 )
Here are the results that I faxed to my Oncologist this morning and I am waiting on a call back from her if she is the least bit concerned.  I will keep you posted once I know more.

                                        results            normal range                    

White blood cells            3.0                   4.0 - 10.5               Low

Red blood cells               3.09                  3.80 - 5.10             Low

HGB (hemoglobin)          10.6                 11.5 - 15.0              Low

Platelet Count                 106                  140 - 415                Low

1/16/12 Doctor Appointment this week

I have a followup appt with the Pulmonologist this Friday 1/20/12.  I will be getting an xray and blood work done on Thursday, and then the doctor will review the results with me on Friday.
I did miss a water pill one day last week and my fingers were noticeably swollen.  I was not able to get my wedding ring on the next morning.  So it doesn't look like the water retention is going away just yet.
I was so hoping I could get off these diarectics soon, but it's probably going to take longer for my veins to repair themselves and stop leaking fluid into my body.  I will blog again after my results on Friday.
My hair is getting thicker every day.  I just want it to grow faster already.  I am not very patient with this waiting for the hair to grow.
