I agree with bailie, not sure how they can make a definitive
diagnosis without a BMB and you should seek another opinion in another center.
Before my husband was diagnosed I thought he did not look good and suggested he make an appointment with the doctor, he pushed it off until I finally had had enough and said "You look like sh.."
A day later, after a doc visit, they called to say his hemoglobin level was in the low 6's, he was mowing the lawn, they told him to go to emergency unit at a local hospital, he would probably need a transfusion. It was a Friday, they admitted him and did a BMB after the weekend on Monday.
Not wanting to add to your stress over the weekend, but sometimes they need a lot more than a gentle nudge!
