Umatr - You're doing the right thing by learning as much as you can. Knowledge is power and gives you the ability to ask intelligent questions when visiting your specialist.

I have monthly pathology done - your husband may have it more often. I find it really useful to keep an Excel spreadsheet with charts of the lower/higher than normal results so I can see at a glance how I'm going. I keep a running average so I can compare this year with previous years. Would that be helpful?
