I'm 63 and have a greatly-enlarged spleen that shows "abnormal increased uptake" on a PET scan. The radiologist lists both CML and myelofibrosa as his "differential diagnosis." My blood test has both my red blood cell count and my white blood cell count as normal, but my hemoglobin is low (13.1; normal, 13.5-17.5); my hematocrit is low (37.9; normal, 41.0-53.0); my platelet is low (112; normal, 130-400); and, my RDW is a high (15.2; normal, 11.5-14.5).
I am wondering what this suggests to those of you here who have already been diagnosed and who have been going through this.
