1st visit to PD after bone marrow test

Mummy: As advised by PD on Wed 23 Apr, although the test does not show any existence of cancerous cells, but the WBC is still v high.. Dr. Vasanthi had suggested to let Ervin start the oral medication of steroid today.. She oso told us to do another round of bloodtest prior to our visit.

Thus, on Friday morning we brought Ervin to SK polyclinic for bloodtest, his 5th bloodtest.. :-( Then we brought Ervin alongwith the bloodtest result to Dr. Vasanthi's clinic at Parkway Parade..

It was a long wait (more than an hr).. When Dr. Vasanthi saw the bloodtest result, she was happy as the WBC count has reduced by half !! From the previous 60+ to 31 now.. Though the normal range should be ard 12-15, but we were v happy as this is the FIRST TIME the WBC count has dropped ! BUT, the eosinophil is escalating to a high of 63 (normal range is 0-6) !!
Nevertheless, Dr. Vasanthi decided to postpone the steroid medication for Ervin.. Yippee !!! She told us to go for another round of bloodtest 2 weeks later..

I hope the eosinophil will reduce in 2 weeks time, & hope it will reduce by itself just like the WBC which reduce to half by itself WITHOUT any medication..
