Sounds like a great set of blood results Mnnvv, ,forgive me for asking as I might have overlooked a previous post you might of made but have you had a MPN diagnosis or is it a precautionary test. . I would perhaps expect your WBC count to be higher if you're fighting infection. . I hope all is cell with you and your tests come b ack ok.

Hi Mnnvv, we can understand how you are worrying, once you have your diagnosis you will be able to read all about what MPN you have, if you have one, on our website mpnvoice.org.uk. Let us know when you have the result. Best wishes, Maz

you need to ask your haematologist or GP to explain the results to you, we cannot do this for you. Maz

I have deleted your blood test results as this is confidential information and you do not want this to be visible to everyone. Maz
