Hello, I recently had my visit to the doctor for the 9 months I have a series of doubts, first of all to say that my bcr-abl results have been lost or destroyed, apparently probably due to the heat .. I have had to go back to do the tests today, after 15 days of tension waiting, now I have to wait another month, another 15 days for the new test to arrive (if it does not spoil again) and another 15 days because my doctor is going on vacation, I find it a bit negligent, even more so considering that my results in months 3 and 6 were suboptimal and in the hypothetical case that I had to change tki, this would take place a month and a half later than it would have been if Things would have been done well, I don't know if something similar has happened to someone.
As for the rest of routine tests, I have noticed that my leukocytes have increased from 5000 to 8000 in 3 months, an increase in leukocytes also means an increase in bcr-abl? or has nothing to do with it? What else could be due to such an increase?
Creatinine has given me high, it crossed my mind that perhaps it could be because I have drunk alcohol from time to time these last 3 months, however in my analyzes of 3 months ago my creatinine was also just as high, and for that So I had not tasted a drop of alcohol for more than 6 months, so therefore that does not seem to be the cause, so why is the increase in creatinine due and what advice do you have to control it?
Regarding Vitamin D, my figures are 67, which seems to me to be optimal figures, my doctor has told me to stop taking it because if it continues to rise it can be toxic to my body, so my question is, to maintain this optimal level of Vit D should I stop taking it since I have reached the correct level and do not need to take more, or should I continue taking the same amount that I am taking (5000 iu d3, 50mcg k2) to stay at these optimal vit D figures?
I also told him that I take other supplements, curcumin, Vit C, selenium and Vit D, in this regard he has told me to stop taking everything, to limit myself to a balanced diet and I do not need supplements, because they can interact and that I do not need them etc, I have informed myself extensively both in this forum and in other sites, and supplements in addition to not interacting are good for our health, so I don't know if your recommendation that I stop taking all supplements seems too good I take, I know that in this forum there are people with more experience in this whole topic and they are regular consumers so I would like to know what they think.
Sorry for asking so much if someone can help me clarify, thanks, greetings.
