Thank you.
I honestly didn't think those 3 values spiking high once would warrent me going any further with this. But I looked at old bloodwork over the last 9 years and my hemocrit has never been below 40 and it just started slowly going up in 2021.

My labs were always fine and my platelets were high the previous year. In 12 months my hemoglobin and hematocrit went very high along with platelets. My PC was concerned immediately and said she’s worried I may have a bone marrow issue. Just from the labs? She was correct sadly. I’m a 56 yr old female who never had any health issues and wasn’t on any medications. After time to process, I’m hitting it head on knowing that it least I can be treated and caught it within a year. It’s not a death sentence 😉
