I have rectal cancer. I finished the chemotherapy and radiotherapy on the 20.12.2019. Surgery is scheduled for the 7th February 2020. I have had lots of blood tests done since the cancer was discovered.
Both the oncologist and the surgeon have told me that my Body would recover from the treatment and it would take about 4 to six weeks.
Whilst i am feeling pretty good, nearly back to eating normally, the blood tests seem to be going in the opposite direction. Whilst the results are sent back to the surgeon and he has not contacted me, i thought they should be showing an improvement after 5 weeks.
Prior to the discovery of the cancer the tests showed as follows on the 11.09.2019.
Red Hemeties White Lymphocytes
498,000 2516 11.09.2019
396,000 249 19.12.2019
386,000 416 27.12.2019
398,000 686 03.01.2020
413,000 563 20.01.2020
384,000 499 29.01.2020
I had hoped as my surgery approaches that the numbers would have risen. I am concerned, are these numbers normal. ?
