I feel like a pin cushion. Getting a bit sick and tired of the frequent blood tests.
At least this one didn't hurt as much as the previous one. Still hurt, but not as much. Its strange they never used to hurt and its the same person doing it.
Just have to wait 15 working days for the results, and fingers crossed the results are less than 0.09.

Better late than never
Went to the clinic with a new set of results on Tuesday 12th March.
They where a little higher, previous ones where 0.03 this one was 0.09 so I have to go back in a months time to see if its a glitch or I need to have my medication changed to something else. They may also do a bone marrow sample, oh deep joy at the thought of that. The cause of the glitch maybe that I had a very bad cold, took about 4 to 5 days to clear up. The biggest problem is not really being able to take extra medicine, especially paracetamol based. As both paracetamol and Glivec (the Leukemia medication) are both processed by the liver. There has been several cases where someone has died while on Glivec and took paracetamol.
Well I go on the 25th to have a new blood test and back to the clinic 4 weeks later, I will get the results about the 17th April then the following week its of to the clinic again. So fingers crossed.
