I had my routine checkup today. This involved the reading of blood test (blood taken yesterday) as well as a physical check for enlarged lymph nodes, performed by my oncologist.
Nothing was found with the physical check and the blood test looks good, except for one value that is slightly elevated. This value is Eosinophils and this value was also elevated prior to my treatment (current value is 0.82).
There can be many reasons why this value can be higher than normal, most commonly it is seen in people affected by hayfever, asthma or Eczema. An elevated reading is also seen in people with Advanced Hodgkins.
Both my Oncologist and I are not worried that this is related to cancer, however just to be sure I have had my PET scan advanced forward. I will be going in for another PET scan around the 13th July (date not yet confirmed).
I should also mention that I am currently suffering from Eczema (which I seem to get on my legs during the dry winter months).
