Hi Steve. I know little about the immunohistochem., but I can tell you that no increase in reticulin fibers is a good thing and means no fibrosis. The maturing trillineage hematopoesis is great; meaning all three cell types are being produced to mature cells. You already know that no excess blasts and normal cytogenetics are also very good. It seems that both samples were of adequate quality, and if you get another opinion, they may not feel the need to repeat the test. And not much dysplasia, so maybe not MDS. Good luck to you and your father.
