@mamapocho01 As I understand what you’ve written, your blood tests were doing very well and then suddenly, they weren’t. And the doctor is saying that things have changed and now you’re at low risk for pre leukemia. That’s an awful situation to be in! You do have the right to a second opinion! Ask yourself several questions: do you like and respect your doctor? Are they associated with a large, comprehensive hospital or a university hospital? Did your primary care physician refer you to them.
If you decide to get a second opinion, let your current doctor know. Good doctors welcome 2nd opinions.
