My Mama called me tonight saying her doctor is sending her to a oncologist hematologist in the morning after two blood tests that showed extremely high white blood cells and low oxygen in her blood. She had her spleen removed 10 years ago and hasn t had any problems with it until recently with being run down and tired all the time what could this be
Hi there, It is difficult to answer your question on basis of the information given here. It seems that she is having what we call as Leukocytosis and Anemia and had splenectomy done. What was the reason for her splenectomy 10 years ago would be vital information to have. The reason for her being run down and tiredness could range from infection to malignancy but would need proper evaluation. As advised seeing a hematologist would be the right thing to do. Regards
