Normal Test Numbers

For reference here are what normal blood counts should be. When you're going through chemo the numbers are expected to be lower than normal so I'll include the numbers where they'll intervene too. 

HGB 10.5 - 14.0 (They'll transfuse if less than 8.0)
ANC 1500 - 8000 (They like the numbers to stay above 1000 in chemo patients if they get less      than 500 there could be serious problems.)
Platelets 150 - 450 (They'll transfuse if less than 20)

Thanks for this. By the way, I'm really glad that you got the zofran approved by your insurance.
