Yes……. On Friday but hematologist said she would not see me again until 1 year. I thought that was strange.

If all of your other blood numbers are ok, there may be nothing to be concerned about if just one reading is a little off of the norm. Our blood numbers can fluctuate with medications, infections, even dehydration can impact the numbers. So there may be no further action needed and it’s fine to wait until next year to have your numbers checked again.

Was this reading found on a routine physical? I’m just wondering why you’re seeing a hematologist? This is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases of the blood. Were you having any unusual symptoms that brought you to a blood specialist?

I just read through several of your other comments and see that you do have some pre-existing conditions but not necessarily a blood disorder. So that may also be the reason the hematologist won’t need to see you until next year.
With your Sojourns disease, do you have a rheumatologist you feel comfortable with?
