Help Understanding Numbers
Hi all,
Realized my left nut was bigger than the right over the weekend. I jumped on it straight away and got an ultrasound that day, and had an appointment with a urologist and got bloodwork done yesterday. The stars freaking aligned to allow me to get all that together so fast, but it's fair to say I got TC.
I'm still waiting for the CT scan approval from my insurance, but I just got the bloodwork results back. My AFP is considered normal at 1.9 NG/ml, HCG is above normal at 7 mIU/mL, and LDH at 207 with no unit attached, but the platform I'm reading it off of says that's within a good range.
I'm waiting on the doc to tell me, but can't stop an anxious mind right? The thing I'm nervous about is if this platform I'm getting my results on would tell me what my actual HCG levels are, or just tell me the max of the scale, which is super small. Image below.
Are people familiar with this kind of a scale? Do you guys think that 7 would be higher if it was truly higher and not just the highest number this small scale is showing?
EDIT: Urologist doctor has recommended the nut be removed entirely. Which I'm scheduling to be the soonest date after whenever my CT scan is.
