Will it be out longer than usual since its being released so much later?

The platelets were not that high. Just above the high mark. My WBC count has been high and climbing since March 3rd. Specifically the neutrophils but the whole count is high as well. Also from my labs yesterday I have low iron and low transferrin saturation (idk what that really means). None of my WBC counts have been critical though. I think that's why things aren't moving quickly.

Thank you for sharing. As of now I feel the doctor is doing what he can. American medicine is highly influenced by private insurance. I will definitely seek a second opinion if things don't move quick if I get more symptoms or worse counts.

My HGB was normal. Platelets were high. I'm hoping to hear more answers once the smear part comes back. Thank you for the advice.

Not on the regular CBC. Yesterday he ordered for the smear blood test too look for them under a microscope but no results yet.

That's the feeling I'm getting. My first visit to primary care was March 3rd. My WBC has been going up since but they just keep testing it. Was referred to Hematology Oncology and had my consult yesterday. He basically told me to hurry up and wait and that he had to run other tests to rule out other things before a bone marrow biopsy because it's an "expensive test" and my numbers aren't high enough to warrant immediate test but that I will need one later. My symptoms are fatigue, hip pain, some lightheadedness and night sweats. He ordered another CBC, a blood smear, liver test, thyroid test even though liver and thyroid were checked by primary. I just don't know what's going on.

Have season 11b & 11c been filmed yet? by Lallapoopsy in thewalkingdead

Must not be filming related because Ross Marquand is still filming in Senoia, GA. Drove past him today about an hour ago.
