Definitions for chart
-
Hemoglobin
is the oxygen carrying protein in red cells
Platelets
help blood clot. If the count is too low, there might be problems with
bruising or bleeding.
White Blood Cells
fight infection in the body
Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC)
is the sum of white blood cell count multiplied by the neutrophil count
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
doctors wants to know the amounts and proportions among the various
components of his blood such as the
White Blood Cell count
Red blood cell count
Hemoglobin
Platelet count
Bilirubin (billy-ru-bin)
The Bilirubin is a result of the
breakdown of red blood cells, which are then handled by your liver. If
your reds are undergoing their normal process and your liver is fine, your
bilirubin level will be within the normal limits. But, if your reds are
damaged somehow or if your liver is inflamed, obstructed, or otherwise
damaged, the amount of bilirubin is likely to go up because your blood
will be hauling the damaged reds off to the liver for processing. Normal
range for bilirubin total is 0.3 to 1.2. When Nicholas was diagnosed his
total was VERY high. Now it is in the normal range.

(Diagnosis, staging & tests)
for descriptions of these tests
To date he has had:
May 18th, 1999 was Nicholas last dose of
Vinblastine and 3MP. He was taken completely of all chemotherapy medicines
in October of 1999. Dr. Warwick feels that each day in remission is another
good sign. We now go Clinic H at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin every six
months for blood draws and doctor visits. Nicholas has stopped taking all
medication as of October 2000.
My mom will try to keep Nicholas’s progress report up
to date,
