My wife's white cell count has stopped doubling (she thought it was going to be at 60 from 30, but it's only at 45.... So, good news in a way...the next test in 3 months should show better? the progress.

Here's hoping it levels out and just becomes chronic and steady.
Fingers crossed.

    You both need to know what is going on and her memory may not be accurate due to the stress and impact of hearing it personally. She needs to call the office with a clear head and ask them to mark her file for the Canadian equivalent of a HIPPO authorization. And, they should also mark it to send home a copy of the key cancer information on paper (which I'm somewhat flabbergasted that they aren't!). That way you can call and talk to her doctor directly with any concerns or questions you have AND you have a paper copy so that way you two can absorb, discuss and process the information in the safe environment of your home together. And, it will reduce the confusion and helpless feeling on both sides as you will have the same information, empowerment, and support available as a true team.
