blood tests abnormal...leukemia? white blood cells normal tho?
my 3 yr old blood tests were :
calcium: 10.6--- high
ast:49 ----high
plt:403---high
neut%:22.6-- LOW
Lymph%:68.7--high
abnormal kidney sonagram--calcium deposits in it
her white blood and everything else was NORMAL, but everytime i type these abnormal tests in, LEUKEMIA pops up with it.....she is going to a kidney specialist but would the white blood cells be HIGH OR LOW also if it was cancer???? they are normal
as far as i know i dont think she's had those tests for what u mentioned.........blood smear? clue cells? dont think she's had them

For the next three and a half years, his family watched and waited as he underwent over thirty spinal taps and received countless medications. The hospital became their home away from home. In 2007, Jacob entered the second grade cancer free where he had perfect attendance and started on the road to a normal life with his family ...
