Question: Hi - you've answered my questions before so I wanted to come back to you with this. I saw the hematologist/oncologist today for the elevated WBC and neutrophils that I've had for the past 2 years (see my previous question to you). He was very thorough, which I appreciate, however his reaction is freaking me out a little. He did a very thorough history and went back and looked up recent xrays, labs and scans that I've had. He went over my history, system by system, asking me questions and making notes. He did a breast and abdominal exam and looked at moles everywhere. He ordered CBC, CMP and an anemia panel. Also ordered PT, PTT, anti-DPA (?), RA, ANA, LAP and UA with micro and C&S. He also ordered a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis with contrast. He also talked a lot about a bone marrow biopsy and said if all the labs come back normal, he would definitely do the biopsy. He also said that if I weren't already current on my screening exams (colonoscopy, PAP/PELVIC, mammogram, etc) he would have ordered those as well. I don't know what I was expecting but was a little blown away by the amount of testing for something that I didn't think was all that serious. So my question to you is, is this is standard response to the leukocytosis or does he likely suspect something more serious, as in cancer or leukemia?. He said he just wants to rule the serious stuff out. Should I be concerned or relieved that he is taking this so seriously? I will see him again in 1 week to go over all the results and plan next steps. Thank you for any advise you can give me on this.
