A fingerstick blood test is a small sample of blood taken from your finger at each visit. This test evaluates your red blood cells (oxygen carrying), white blood cells (infection fighting), and platelets (cells that allows your blood to clot when needed). This test is a valuable tool that the doctor uses to see how your blood cells are tolerating your treatment.
