they are not as encouraging as they had been.
My lymphocytes jumped to 94.2 thou/cumm from 83.8 thou/cumm last month. I did have a higher lymphocyte count last December and August, so that doesn’t necessarily mean anything has changed significantly.
I sense when the numbers start getting this high, the variation from test to test varies more also.
But now I’m beginning to question the wisdom of being tested every month. I know I’ve done it, to some extent because I am superstitious, thinking there will be a sudden change if I should skip a month, but each new test now only seems to add additional worries, rather than any important information. After all, I still feel relatively fine.
Especially since this months test shows my hemoglobin down to 11.6 g/dl, which is the lowest it has ever been (the previous low was 11.8 g/dl in December), and I was still able to achieve my best time up the back side of Turnbull Canyon yesterday, since September 8th of last year.
I guess I have to attribute that to the new bike! I wonder if buying a new set of golf clubs will help my golf game?
