Smudge Cells 1 year old. Leukemia or Second Opinion?

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hello my 1 year old had some concerning results recently. Lymphocytes have been going up over the last month and she had basket cells / smudge cells on her blood smear. Doctor wants us to wait 2 weeks to test again. Everything online says smudge cells = CLL leukemia. Do I get a second opinion and retest sooner or wait it out? Very worried please help
