Done Blood Test During Chemotherapy. Meaning? Have Enlarged Spleen, Breast Cancer Stage IIA
I am trying to understand my bloodtests that I have had during my chemotherapy. On a complete blood count,
RBC 3.35 low
HCT 33.8 low
MCV 101 high
MCH 33.7 high
RDW 17.5 high
I have or had Eosinophilia
Neutacytoxin
Immature Gran? What does that meab?
Left shift? What does that mean?
And I have an enlarged spleen causing great discomfort, I cant find anything about enlarged spleen that occurs and will go down on its own in a couple of weeks. It has been a month and still feeling discomfort. Since I couldn't find anything regarding an enlarged spleen due to treatment. And when I did, it says anything but it will go back to normal size in 4 weeks or less.
Should I be concerned? I was diagnose with Breast Cancer Stage 2a, However I had a 4mm tumor growing out of one of my auxillary nodes and the other node was clean, however the skin removed along with the 2nd node has a speck of cancer in the skin tissue itself.

Hi
Thank for asking to HCM
Your blood test is indicative or suggestive of low in hemoglobin and volume of red cells Malignant pathology and Chemotherapy could be cause of these, discus it with your oncologist, Have good Day.
