At my wits end. Not sure where to go from here.

Hi: I would find a doctor to do the BMB on you, just to rule out some different causes. When I was diagnosed with CML, I presented with a high WBC, and I just so happened to work for a Oncologist. I went to him, and told him of my concern. He said it could be a number of things, but lets do a BMB to see if it gives me an idea of what is going on. The WBC had been elevated after 3 different blood tests. He did the BMB right away, and it did come back that I had CML. He said the bad news is that you have Leukemia, but the good news is that you have a type that is treatable. I can Thank God for this great doctor, and for the blessings that I am here to tell and share after living with CML for 26 years. Please insist on the BMB, and then go from there.

Thank you so much for sharing your story with me and giving me advice. I get so frustrated with the doctors sometimes and most don't want to listen to you. My first Hematologist was awesome, and he knew something was going on but unfortunately, he left because he did not agree with what the hospital, he worked for was trying to do. My family physician was the same way. He knew something wasn't adding up and felt something was in fact going on and he did what he could for me with what he could do but unfortunately, he left as well for the same reason that he didn't like how the hospital was trying to do things. I have an appointment to see a new family physician coming up very soon and from what I hear she is good people and actually cares so hopefully she will send me to the right hematologist and ill have answers soon.
