Went to see Dr. Cantwell on or about August 25 regarding the call from Dr. Waldrop and Mom's elevated blood count. Dr. Cantwell wanted to run all the tests again to check out Mom. He ran more Blood tests, took an X-ray and did her urine. Today, we had a call regarding the results.
Sharon, Dr. Cantwell's nurse called to say that Mom's white blood count was still elevated but not quite as high as previously. It was at 16 something with some cells that need further identification. That being the case Sharon had their office set an appointment with a hematologist, Dr. McClune, for Sept. 15...couldn't be sooner for a new patient.
I contacted Mark Cohen for a referal on an ENT at the recommendation of Dr. Waldrop and reiterated by Dr. Cantwell. I also asked if he knew a hematologist in case we didn't like the one provided by Wellstar (Cantwell's system). He gave me the name of his own ENT, Dr. Sanjay Bhansali, over near St. Joseph Hosp. He said that a 2 week wait for a new patient was what to expect no matter who the hematologist was so we are going along with Dr. McCune for the moment.
I got an appointment with Dr. Bhansali on Sept. 2, and re-organized Mom's eye appointment for next Tuesday along with her blood work for the Boniva shot. I am thinking that the blood work just received from Dr. Cantwell should work just fine for Dr. Meyerson. I'll check on that tomorrow. Boniva is scheduled for Sept. 15 so I need to see if it conflicts with Dr. McClune. Actually, I think I will reschedule the Boniva...until we've met with Dr. McCune..
