Repeat CBC Results

Coby had another CBC drawn this morning. We got the results & his lab values are continuing to improve - which Dr. Sisson predicted!!! They are still a little low, but are rising slowly & improving. We will have another repeat CBC done Sunday to determine whether or not we can give the 5mg lomustine that night. We will be resuming the nightly 10mg leflunomide tomorrow.

LAB RESULTS:
I think the lab values are correct, but it's difficult to read the clinic's results & interpretation.
