Then I got somewhat of a curveball today when the hematologist called and said he was expecting high PTH levels (parathyroid hormone levels) to show in the blood tests, but instead they were abnormally low. This would throw a wrench in the original prognosis. Just looking for a little insight, that's all.



JG, see if you can PM Etoh and maybe get his input here.

Hoping the best for you, Amigo.
