You Gotta Ask for It

Mike e-mailed me today after reading Wednesday's post, "Generalized Signs of a Blood Cancer". He says that your doctor may not automatically test your blood for your white blood cell level, so if you are worried or are experiencing any of the symptoms we listed, you should ask him to run a CBC (Complete Blood Count) on your blood. That will give them the breakdown of the components of your blood and identify any areas that might be out balance.

Thanks, Mike, for that suggestion!
