For the last three months he has been feeling weaker and more fatigued than usual; his weight dropped from 170 to 155 pounds. Xin’s blood was drawn and testing was conducted. His hematocrit was 45% and white-blood cell count was 2,500 white-blood cells/mm3, with the differential showing neutrophils 65%, lymphocytes 25%, monocytes 10%. A biopsy was taken of one of the discolored lesions and grown in cell culture. After three days of growth the cells were confirmed as coming from malignant cancerous tissue. A magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the area around the skin lesions on Xin’s inner thigh revealed enlarged lymph nodes, a sign of potential metastasis.
