Mine weren't tested before surgery but after surgery and then chemo, mine are now 0.9 (I think). Check with your doctor next time you see him/her.

Go to: http://www.labtestsonline.org.au/ It is a community service and has received government funding so I think it's OK to mention here.

If we are not allowed to mention such sites here then I think we have a major problems. As Harker says it is a community service, receives government funding and contains evidence based information. Look up your test and it will give you a wealth of information. Cheers Sailor The acquisition of the knowledge of navigation has a strange effect on the minds of men.
