January 2011 - The Hematologist - The First Visit

I am armed with all my blood tests and my spreadsheet. I visit with the hematologist and review my blood tests with the doctor. The hematologist does a physical and asks several questions. He looks rather confused turns to his computer and selects test after test. 9 blood tests in total and a 24 hour urine test are ordered and requests I have the tests done and come back in two weeks. I am being tested for easy stuff and difficult stuff. It will be a tough two weeks, wondering if the diagnosis will be a easy or hard one to swallow.
