@mandm4evers Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! I see by looking at your profile, that you have been a member for a few years, and this is your first post!

I can certainly understand your nervousness. The unknown can be scary. My first advice is to not do a "Dr. Google" search, okay? Instead, write down the results you have seen, and then start writing down your questions. No question is too silly or small, remember. Not only will it help calm you down, it will help you focus. There will possibly be more tests in your near future, as your team narrows down what is going on, and may refer you to a hematologist. If you can take a family member or friend with you to have a second set of ears to listen, that is also helpful. Don't be afraid to ask to have something repeated if you are unsure what you heard.

Take a deep breath, get a cuppa tea or coffee, and pull up a chair with me. We can talk about anything that might be bothering you right now. Next week will be here before you know it. Take some walks outside, play in the dirt, or whatever hobby fills your soul. Many of us have been in your shoes. What questions do you have for me?

I got in early! You were absolutely right, being sent to a hematologist. What are normal tests would the hematologist would order? I do not have a appointment yet 😉 hopefully soon!
