Radiation and Blood Cells

My absolute eosinophils and monocytes have been out of range the last 4 or 5 blood tests but red and white blood cells have been within range. My GP suggested it might be because of radiation. My radiation oncologist does not believe that is the case and she is a researcher at heart. I have had inflammation for other injuries so I am not sure if I will ever get to the correct answer.

I would tend to agree with your GP, Ben. Numerous studies have shown this to be true, so why she doubts it is puzzling.
My numbers have never, ever looked like this and the only event that could possibly cause it is radiation..,.or maybe leukemia, in which case I’m doubly screwed…
