What types of blood tests does one usually take if they have leukemia? ?
I know there is the blood count test and the blood cultures test.
Are there more tests? and can anyone explain me what these tests actually "test"?
And are they like drug tests or do they just test how much of what you have in yr blood...like white blood tests, hemoglobin, platelets....
