I was wondering if anyone here has experience interpreting Hemotological test results and would be willing to answer a question for me? My mother has had some blood tests done, and her GP is being less than forthcoming with the results. Nurses have given her some explanation, but nothing more than a "we'll have the doctor look these over and give you a call". This has been 2 weeks, and the waddling quack of a doctor has yet to call. (She's busy protesting the price of insurance) To top it off, during the last visit, my mother was told - well, you may have leukemia, but it's not serious enough to worry about yet. (!)
If anyone could possibly give me an explanation as to possible causes for a 10% increase in reticulocytes in a CBC, I would be greatly appreciative. (I'm looking online, but am finding results only for horses....which obviously, my mother is not one of)

Thanks
