So my crazy insurance company did an about face and decided to approve the chromosome test that they were not wanting to do yesterday. The good news there is that I don't have to do the bone marrow aspiration next week! Woohoo!!!
Also, while my white count is still up; the doctor told me when I went back for my second draw of the day, that he did NOT see any myleocystic leukocytes today! Plus, he was talking to a colleague about me today and was reminded of a rare blood disorder that doesn't do anything negative to you, it just gives you a high white count for no apparent reason (chronic non-specific leukocytosis is what I think he called it). In other words; it doesn't go away, they don't know what causes it and it involves the white cells. The good news; they monitor it and it doesn't seem to do anything bad to you.
So I have 1-2 weeks to wait for the chromosome test to come back. Pray that they don't see the Philadelphia Chromosome! Philadelphia is a great place to visit, but I don't need any souvenirs.
