A member asked:
What does it mean when blood tests are done every ten weeks in a cancer patient and their "levels are rising".
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Levels rising.: I depends on what it is they are measuring. If the Hct is rising that is good. If it is the creatinine that is rising that is bad. Lets do 2nd opinion so we can get to the bottom of this.
