Thank you for your response and advice. I have my first appointment with a hematologist on Friday. My retired longtime PCP and his partner who will be my new doc have referred me to a well credentialed and experienced specialist. Hopefully he will order the tests needed to establish a baseline and I will begin the education processes. I have had colonoscopies and endoscopies every 5-6 years since my first one at age 51 and in fact, I am due. My GI doc is part of the same group, has been seeing me for 25+ years and the group is great at sharing information. As I look at the test results that resulted in this diagnosis I am trying hard to get educated and not play internet doctor and self diagnose my condition but I clearly have a lot to learn. I am of course, nervous but have faith in my docs and hopefully will be in that category that requires monitoring and not treatment. Thanks again for your comments. Best.
