When it rains it pours or seeing a hemetologist/oncologist

Well, my white cell count is very high and lately I have been brusing with no injury. I currently have a 4 1/2 week old bruise that has barely begun to heal. My platelet count was fine and I am not anemic. So off to see another specialist. Add this to the kidney stuff and I am just one scared kitten. I really so do not need this right now. I am sure that everything will turn out fine but just the idea of seeing this doctor is scary. I got an appointment for the 4th. If it had been earlier in the day I could have gone on the 2nd but it was way too late for picking hubby up from work. I am getting sick of specialists. I also get to see a GI specialist next Tuesday to find out why Creon helped with all my digestive issues. I guess I will just relax and go with it. I mean what is the worst they can say? I am dying? What is that compared to a lupus diagnosis? Besides I have been told I was going to die before and I am still here death doesn't scare me.

Redrose you're in my thoughts and prayers....as Judy says, if you're on pred you will bruise very easily and the bruises hang around forever!

   Hey Rose,

                     Told you, once they tell you your dying the rest is easy . lol

                     Tell your hubby to kiss your bruises and make them better. It won't help the bruises but it always made me forget about them for awhile.

                     Good luck honey

thanks everyone. I am not overly worried, this is just anoying. The high white cell count does concern me a bit but more from worry over an infection than anything else. Since I just finished a round of antibiotics and my blood counts will be retested Saturday we will see if the count remains high.
