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 😉

I'm 41 year female, and up until this year I haven’t had any real.health issues. I realize that these symptoms/results are not good and I need to find out what's going on sooner than later cuz I'm slowly getting worse.
My main goal is to find out what exactly is wrong, give it a name, and figure out the best ways to manage the symptoms.
I mean, I've got things to look forward to like going back to school at the end of June, my volunteer work that counts towards my internship, hanging out with friends, etc.
