Hi, unfortunately with smudge cells and your other signs, the first thing to look into is CLL and other B-cell blood cancers. The high calcium suggests Multiple Myeloma, but then CLL can also cause high calcium.
It's important to remember that CLL usually has a very good survival rate.
You don't mention easy bruising, so maybe the marrow is still okay.
If your WBC and your number of smudge cells hasn't been rising, that should probably be a good sign.
Good luck to you.
