@gingerw -- Hey Ginger !! Checking in ..... my endocrinologist PA at MDA Houston pushed through and got me a consultation appointment with Lymphoma/Myeloma Dept. for 11/3/22 @ 11am with Dr. Neeraj Saini !! We drove in from our home north of San Antonio the day before. We are staying at our other house near Hobby Airport. My husband (Kurt) went with me to appt. Dr. Saini very easy going, clear and concise in conversation. After our discussion, I went to lab and had many vials of blood taken. He also set up appointment for tomorrow - Tuesday, 11/8/22 @ 10am for X-Ray of bones. Also was sent home with items needed for 24 hr urine collection, which I have done and will return to lab before X-Rays. The bloodwork results started hitting "My Chart" before we left the hospital. Lots of line entries of results. Two other doctors made notes about certain lines. Dr. Saini wants to do bloodwork every 3 months. I expect to hear from Dr. after results come in from Urine and X-Rays. We are headed back home on Thursday 11/10, I have a haircut scheduled in New Braunfels. Rescheduled from 11/2 as I was headed to Houston. Hope all is well with you. Jackie

@redgiles My apologies for not getting back to you. This post missed my radar. Shame on me! So glad you got the consultation appointment and now that a bit of time has passed, what have you found out? Yep, there are many blood tests run, it seems like each one takes different tubes, doesn't it!?
It can be a pretty nervous time while we wait for complete information, and seeing additional notes on your chart may trigger a reaction of "oh, no! why are they commenting?" I am here for you, and will definitely support you through whatever is said. Bloodwork every three months is fairly normal. While that was the protocol for me before starting chemo, I now do it every month at the cancer center. Plus bloodwork for the kidney stuff.
Please let me know how you are doing!
Ginger
