I have no symptoms and did not have any just routine blood work and next thing I know my G/p had me at a oncologist. How was often do most people get labs? I was getting labs every 2 weeks until the last 2 draws than 3 weeks now 4. Thank you for your time and your help.

You can be assured that it’s a positive sign when your oncologist is giving you a longer leash on blood work. The initial testing every two weeks set a baseline to check the possible progression of your blood condition(s). Now that you’re up to 4 weeks between labs, your hematologist is comfortable that your blood numbers are stable…so you can be comfortable too. Just go about and enjoy life! I know the feeling…my leash is extended to every 3 months. ☺️

Don’t let the ‘watch and wait’ influence your daily life. It’s like those weather forecasts of a storm watch…sometimes they never even develop and all the concern is for nothing. What are you favorite activities to enjoy?
