Question 3

i am getting chopr for lymphoma, dr told me blood counts low, may have to postpone. what does this mean and how can i get counts up by tomorrow?

Accepted Answer

See below...: Chemotherapy effects the bone marrow which produces blood cells.  It kills the lymphoma cells, but also affects other cells which are rapidly dividing.  The bone marrow has rapidly dividing cells that provide the body with the cells necessary in your blood.  The chemotherapy suppresses the cell division in the marrow, and the blood count will drop.

Question 5

when i'm sitting down i notice that my low back starts to hurt also when i get up from sitting i have a low backache. what does that mean ?

Accepted Answer

Minor strain/spasm: Everyone experiences some aches and pains at some point in life, but if any pain that is adversely affecting your life, you should have it checked out.

Being 24 and no specific trauma, i suspect some low back spasm from prolonges sitting etc... Good luck to you.
