Good afternoon Lori and Snakebite, thank you again for your persistence in communicating. Those are indeed interesting articles. The hematologist who has been advising me is all-in, engaged, and wonderful. Yet, I also mentioned earlier the desire (desirability?) of getting a second opinion. What you have both been stating is confirming the advisability of doing so. And this is now going to happen for me in mid-October. In the meantime, need to continue to read, stay out of trouble, and take naps. 😊
