    Thank you, JBC, for your reply —
    I was seen my hematologist this week and just waiting for test results. He believes an evaluation is in order because ‘2 lines’ are low. We’ll see. I am active myself, bmi normal, and if it wasn’t for two siblings diagnosed with blood cancers, I probably wouldn’t be concerned. *I also come from a farming background — no lack of contact with benzene products now that I think about it…I’ve always felt the environment is more causing of issues\cancer than genetics…imho

    Thank you, Tam, for your reply — and yes, I would like you to share your ‘daily routine’ (strict diet?) etc…
    I have much experience with Froedtert and agree with you that some of the doctors are fantastic!

    Thank you, I will go the route of a local hematologist\oncologist — and yes, I will definitely go to Froedtert in Milwaukee for a second opinion if anything at all is found. Thank you for your advice. I appreciated the note to weigh risks vs benefits.
