Need Help - Hematology won't do testing

The first Oncologist didn't want to do the biopsy. He's only going to check my labs every 6 month. Doesn't seem interested in finding out the source of my anemia. The second one on the other hand did do the biopsy. It came back negative for cancer but thinks the source of the anemia is my kidneys. No definitive answer for my anemia. I have some answers but I still have more questions. I continue to research, and I most definitely ask questions to my specialists when something new pops up with what's happening with me.

Hi zebra. I'm sorry to hear you don't know reason for your anemia. It's been 5 yrs for me and it's worsening over last 2 yrs. Curious what became of theory about your kidneys being cause? Do you have iron deficiency anemia? I've been told the cause of mine is not cancer. Okay, that is great! But nothing beyond that. RBC is always low. RDW always high. Etc. I struggle with bad skin rashes that are either eczema type, or ulcerative lesions. Just some weird stuff.
New symptoms croping up. Are you experiencing osteoporosis? Mine has escalated big time in past year. I dunno. My Internist (new to me) seems really great. I'm hopeful. Tomorrow, I get results of bone density test. Do your doctors have a plan for reaching diagnosis? Sigh. Sorry for all the questions. Blessings 🙌
