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?

I was diagnosed 2 yrs ago after a routine mammogram with stage 4 CLL Lymphoma. Blood work and Ct scans every 6 months at this point unless I start having symptoms. I’m 70. Just going about my normal routines feeling lumps in my neck armpits and groin. Waiting for them to get 10mm before the drs do anything or I develop other symptoms. It’s a bit unsettling. I get a lot of anxiety and stress over it.
