All,
Just a reminder to speak to your doctor before you try to interpret labs yourself. Was able to look at my bone marrow biopsy before the doc called me this morning to chat about it. It did verify I am in Chronic phase and also noted - FOCAL MILD RETICULIN FIBROSIS (MF1). I started doing research on Myelofibrosis, which turns out to be a totally different thing. He explained to me that he would expect to see some sort of fibrosis associated with CML. He did note that Myelofibrosis, is a totally different diagnosis and that it would have been clear to the pathologist during his findings. Again, before you go down dark holes on the internet, please make sure you consult with your Doc. This will save a lot of stress and heart ache.
best,
Jon
