First oncologist appt
My CBC results in mid-March were whacko, so my primary care provider ordered a repeat. The late March results were similarly whacko, so she referred me to an oncologist. I'm completely asymptomatic 64yo female in good health.
Met the oncologist today. CBC in the office showed WBC counts continuing to rise. They're running all the blood test specified by NCCN guidelines plus I'm getting a CT scan (chest, abdomen, pelvis with contrast). I go back in three weeks to get the news. I'm hoping for CLL.
I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but DAMN. The wait for a diagnosis is hard.
I'd love to hear from others and their experiences.
