: Such findings are concerning for possible chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and similar disorders. OTOH, you're much younger than most persons with these disorders. Don't be over worried: most CML is easily treatable and sometimes curable with mostly non-toxic drugs. Keep your appointment with the hematologist. Good luck.
