Guest guest Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Dear , I am glad that you mentioned your doctor doing a metabolic panel on your blood. I just happened to be in my oncology office today waiting for my cbc when I read an article in www.Caring4Cancer.com. This is a free magazine that is offered at oncology offices and I think you can go to the web site and subscribe for a free magazine and their newsletter. This is there I get a lot of my information that I pass on to the group. It is called a CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel) and also a BCP ( blood chemistry panel). This test provides us with important information about the health of our organs such as our kidneys, liver, blood sugar or glucose blood proteins, electrolytes and carbon dioxide. You are supposed to fast before taking it, but no one has ever told me to at MDACC, so I don't know how accurate it is, since I take it about the same time as my SKI and have to eat. I take a small breakfast in my briefcase and take it while waiting for the doctor. Good luck with your new doctor, with him on " your side " , I'm sure you will thrive. Best wishes, Lottie Duthu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
