What level is normal for inflammatory markers in routine blood test 4 weeks after 5 fractions of radiotherapy? Previously told vit B 12 low & to take over counter tablets. So this was unexpected. Advice please a repeat test booked for 2 weeks time.

Hello Cyclegran, and thank you for posting.
Expected ranges for bloods can be quite individual depending on a number of factors. So I am afraid that it is not possible for anyone, other than your doctor or specialist nurse (CNS) who know you, to be able to say what is out of range and whether it is a particular concern.
It is normal to do a recheck of bloods as things can change and a stand alone out of range test result, like inflammatory markers, wouldn't necessarily need action. Lots of different things can affect your blood test results, including cancer treatments, more information on these blood tests can be found here
Take care Cyclegran and if you are still concerned and have contact details for a CNS maybe give them a call and leave a message. If you want to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline the number is 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9 till 5, Monday to Friday.
Sarah.
