I am just wondering whether other melanoma patients get or regularly have tests on their CD counts ratio aka flow cytometry
If so are most patients counts usually abnormal or out of whack?
And finally if people arent getting tested why not?
No doctor in Australia has ever even given me or suggested a blood test or count of any kind.
In fact when I mentioned it to a melanoma specialist from the Melanoma Institute in Sydney he said he didnt believe they meant much.
Surely a flow cytometry gives valuable advice on how well the immune system is function.
All my blood work is great except for this one which i got done myself overseas.
So in my mind it would make sense to try and stimulate the immune function so the CD4 ratio is back to normal and NK cells are also normal?
