Dr. O checks for the "C" word.....

Renee saw Dr. Olajide, who is a hematologist and oncologist. It was noticed that Renee's spleen was enlarged, which meant that the red blood cells would be "pooling" there, and explained her anemia (partially).
After reviewing Renee's blood, Dr. O wanted to take a worst case scenario approach, and check for cancer. An attempt was made to collect a bone marrow sample, but this was not successful. A small sample of Renee's bone was collected instead. However, the labs would not be complete until sometime the next week. This made for a long, prayerful weekend.
