Is your NP your primary provider? I am a Family Nurse Practitioner and when I got lab results it reassured me when my collaborating physician said "well if you're gonna get one it's a good one to get" I really try to keep that in mind! I spent time in the Gulf War and did see an outside hematologist/oncologist then completed all the necessary paperwork to apply for VA benefits since CLL is on the short list for service in the Middle East. I am going and have a long list of questions and requests, one being how can I see CLL specialist. I refuse to wait I firmly believe in making changes so I can do my best to delay and I feel I need a care team not just my PCP. It makes sense to just be reassured if nothing else!

@54321kl yes, my NP is my primary provider. I live in Canada and it’s almost impossible to find a Family Doctor. Indeed I would prefer to have a Care Team. I would be satisfied to be followed by my Hematologist but he passed me back to my NP. If anything shows up in my lab reports, I will be referred back to him. Hopefully I remain “stable” and won’t need treatments, etc.

Good Luck! Hope everything works out for you.
