result interpretation

Hi All, these are my mothers initial bone marrow biopsy results. The doctors are now beginning to say the diagnosis may have been incorrect and have not made it clear to me from the results what type of MDS my mother has/had or if the disease has definitely progressed into AML. I was just wondering if anybody may be able to shed some light on these results? or if anybodies are similar and may be able to explain as it has become clear that the doctors interpretation cannot be trusted.

Diff count: Blast=7%, Pro=5%, Myelo=8%, Meta=5%, Band=1%, Segment=34%
Lymphoid series=25%, Erythroid series=9%, Mono=4%, plasma cell=2%
erythroid maturation: megaloblastic changes seen
Myeloid maturation: dysplastic changes seen
Megakaryocytes: slightly increased in small megakaryocytes many with hypoblated nuclei at biopsy

Trephine bone biopsy: show hypercellular marrow with estimated cellularity of 80-90% and increased normal size megakaryocytes as well as slightly small megakaryocytes many with hypobated nuclei interspersed with few stromal fat cells and bone trabeculae.

Thankyou
