The hematologist may know that with those counts she would recommend no treatment for now. I have had little to no treatment for 20 years. Wait and see is a treatment protocol. I have had at least 12 BMB at 3 Centers for Excellence.

I have only been treated for infections as they come up,given transfusions as needed and given B-12 shots. I did try Procrit when my counts dropped suddenly but it didn't help.

I think even if you got a new hematologist that they would wait 4-6 weeks before running more blood unless other symptoms such as fever presents itself. Running too much blood work too soon can skew the results and make it harder to recover if it was a virus. I know it is hard but try and be patient.
