Many of us on this forum can empathise with you. I had never heard of MDS when diagnosed and it certainly is a big shock.

MPV stands for mean platelet volume. When the MPV is high and platelets are low it means the bone marrow is producing platelets and releasing them into circulation rapidly. This website might be helpful: http://labtestsonline.org/understand...telet/tab/faq/

All the best, and keep posting!
