@twitt1949 It’s great to hear that you’re feeling better and not having those digestive issues anymore! I’ve had my share of those issues in the past and it can really change the course of the day when there are plans! Pun intended…I hope that’s all behind you now. 😅

As for blood work. If there are that many pages, your doctor has run some comprehensive blood panels and it would be better for them to interpret all the tests in relation to each other. Let me state it this way, blood conditions can be a bit like solving a puzzle. You can get part of the picture, enough to identify it with good, basic pieces. But it is even more helpful for your doctor to have the remaining pieces to identify, oh, I don’t know…the lilacs in corner next to the purple blue sky. LOL.
Since you have an appointment coming up May 5th to discuss the PET scan, I’m expecting they’ll also talk about your labs in the same appointment. Because it doesn’t seem that there is anything raising eyebrows on your blood work today, your doctor didn’t see anything that is concerning. Most blood conditions don’t change rapidly. There are exceptions of course. But from everything you’ve told me in our conversations, you seem pretty stable and you also have a great doctor. So, for now, use your time to plan your summer camping trips!
Do you have a camper or fought it in a tent? ☺️ Do you fish?

yes, we have a 32 ft trailer that we bought 30 yrs ago. No tents!! Still looks like most like new. I do fish on occasion but not a big time fisherman. How about you? got any plans this summer?
