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.

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