Hello doctor, I have my wife's blood test report. We fear that she might have blood cancer. For the last four months, she is having joint pain, sudden breath difficulty, hand pain, and chest pain. Kindly help.
Hello. As per the report, only apparent problem is that she has mild anemia, microcytic hypochromic (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Usually common in young females. Otherwise, platelets and WBC are normal. Does she have any other symptoms like fever or bleeding? Also, why are you thinking of cancer? To be sure you can repeat CBC with a peripheral smear. If needed, serum iron studies can be done to confirm iron deficiency anemia.
