Thank you Paula. I agree there is no sense in reinventing the wheel, especially when you don’t have the energy to. Best wishes to you.

Hi Cherry,
Years ago I used Excel to chart my blood tests. It really helped me track my disease and it helped the doctor. Unfortunately, it was a lot of work to impute all the test results. Now I use MyChart, which allows me to see my tests in a big list or individually on a graph, which helps to see if I am on a downward or upward trend. Some sites like HealthTree allow you to use there site to chart your progress.

Many cancer centers have digital records that make the data available on applications for their patients. You can also ask for a hard copy and ask HealthTree to record and their application plots the data with the upper and lower limits . Ask and either option will give you what you want. I have my lab results saved in both options and it helps familiarize me with the results that I discuss with my oncologist and Multiple Myeloma Specialist.

Do you have a specific template for tracking blood work results?

While the search results don't include a specific template for charting blood work, many MyMyelomaTeam members have found helpful ways to stay organized with their health information.

Some members use planners specifically designed for cancer care, like CanPlan, which helps organize daily health information. Others keep it simple with notebooks, paper trackers, or smartphone apps to record their medical information.

For tracking blood work specifically, you might consider creating a simple chart that includes:

- Date of blood draw
- Complete Blood Count (CBC) results (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets)
- Blood chemistry results (kidney function, liver function, calcium levels)
- Protein levels (M protein, if applicable)
- Any notes about how you were feeling that day

You could use a basic spreadsheet, a notebook with columns, or even a notes app on your phone. The key is finding a system that works for you and that you'll actually use consistently.

Keeping everything in one designated place - whether it's a binder, drawer, or folder - can help you track trends over time and remember questions for your healthcare provider.

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
want to share a little update about my journey. Recently I went for a CT scan of my lungs, and today the doctor explained the results to me. They found some changes in my left lung compared to before. There are areas where the lung lining looks thicker, and a small mass in the lower part of the left lung has grown a bit since my last scan. Because of these changes, the doctors want to do another test called a bronchoscopy, where they use a small camera to look inside the airways and take samples to understand it better. Hearing all this was not easy for me. It made me emotional because it feels like one thing after another. But at the same time, I am thankful that I am already under medical care and the doctors are taking steps to find out exactly what
