Needing help understanding BMB

I had a BMB that my hematologist said was abnormal, but wasn't for sure exactly what was going on. The things that she said were concerning were the marrow cellularity showed mildly hypocellular for my age, that the stain for CD34 show small number of blasts, and the reticulin stain shows focal reticulin fibrosis. I have had elevated RBC, hemoglobin, and hematocrit for sometime now. I also have an enlarged spleen. I also have a couple auto immune diseases( rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto). I don't get to meet with my hematologist until November 25th to speak to her in person. I found this forum and was wondering if anyone has had any of these results on their BMB and what the outcome was. I also like to have good sense of what these terms refer too. If anyone has any advice or similar results I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks
