Losing Blood. Colonize Done. Doctor Informed Problem With White Cells, Advised To Take Test At Cancer Center
my husband went in for a test at the cancer center on his blood. He was losing blood and his doctor was thinking it was a bleeding uclus, but was not. The cancer center called and wanted my husband to come back in to see them for their results. They want me to come with him. When he was in the hospital they did a coloninopize (cant spell the word) and didn t see anything, but it was a problem with his white cells, therefore they recommended him to the cancer center for a blood test of some kind.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are some cancers related to the white blood cells such as leukemia or lymphomas.
In these type of tumors the white blood cells would be increased.
There would also be other abnormalities that would be seen on blood tests. Investigations can also be used to determine the type of leukemia or lymphoma present so that treatment can be tailored for it.
If you have any questions related to the investigations or treatment , you should speak to his doctors at the next visit.
I hope this helps
