John's MCV usually runs around 107-110. It was normal before treatment. It can indicate a B12 or folate insufficiency/deficiency when high. Apparently, it's pretty common to see an elevated MCV in bone marrow disorders even when B12 and Folate are normal. You may want to ask what his levels are...they should be in mid to high normal range. A low normal is not adequate.
