Another visit to the gleaming, curvaceous Comprehensive Cancer Center at WFBH yields new lab results. Sounds like a tabloid headline doesn't it? Let's not get too dramatic, yet.
The results are actually quite undramatic. To wit: see the updated table to the right. My lunatic lymphocytes are holding their own since my last visit and even down slightly. I suppose we can conclude that my immune response to the multiple yellow jacket stings did not contribute to the increase three months ago. Readers may also be glad to know that I remembered to wear jeans every time I mowed the lawn since then in an attempt to prevent a recurrence of that insect encounter.
Interestingly, my lymphocytes are down by 200 this time. Also notable is that my neutrophils are hanging in there as are my red blood cells and hemoglobin. All in all, undramatic and encouraging that my blood isn't going south on me. Another lab and office visit is scheduled for January. Can't wait to see Dr. Ellis again.
About Me
- Wayne Turner
- I was born, raised and went to school in eastern NC. Too immature at 17 to comprehend the seriousness of university life, I dropped out after two years and joined the Air Force. I spent two years of my four year military career in Germany, which I enjoyed immensely. I completed my Bachelor's Degree at Guilford College in 1985. My first career was in the computer field where I did everything short of design one. I've spent the last 30 years in the environmental field working for local governments. In December 2017 I retired from full time work. My overdeveloped sense of fairness and justice lands me on the liberal side in my political views. I think government plays a large role in social responsibility in a civilized state. I believe in the innate compassion and goodness in everyone despite the daily news reports to the contrary. My genetic predisposition for generosity in nearly all things is sometimes a source of future angst. I've been a musician and still have a deep love of music. I am naturally curious about all things especially metaphysics and science.
