Suggest Treatment For Leukemia
Dear Dr Gupta and Dr. Krueger,
My grandfather's recent blood test reveals leukemia.
The brief of the report is as follows:
Neutrophil 9
Lymphocytes 82
Leucocyte 57800
Haemoglobin 14
Comment from pathology: Total leucocytes were raised with presense of mainly mature looking lymphocytes.
The patient is 85 yrs old and has undergone Bypass heart surgery in 1997.
He is otherwise healthy and has no other disease or complication.
It would be grateful if you could offer your suggestion on treatment options for him.
Regards
