Need help deciphering some terms in BMB results.

I posted this under MDS, but think it better under Q&As. I really need help deciphering some terms in my MDS lab test results.

Thank you Baile, Neil, Dan and John for your advice on what to ask the Doctor after being diagnosed. I have written them all down in note form, prepared for my next appointment.

While waiting for the next appointment, I have tried translating on my own the BMB/BMA results. Really appreciate some help here, I don't understand half of these terms, even with google:

(3) Slightly hypocellular bone marrow
(4) Myeloblasts seen as 5.6%, from small to slightly big, by nucleous net (?)contains nucleolus.
Dysplasia seen in degranulation etc., neutrophil chromatin blocked.
(5) Erythroid series
Dysplasia seen in non nuclear shaped, multiple nuclei, karyolysis etc.
Fission image 1.0% and slightly outstanding
(6) Lymphoid series
slightly decreasing
(7) Megakaryocyte
decreasing
small shaped megakaryocyte seen
(8) Others
macrophage not outstanding but a few hemophagocytes can be seen.

Diagnose: MDS, RAEB1

Translation is my own, so there might be some unintelligible
phrases. Really need help with the meanings.Thank you.

Another point is that I have this list of like:
Myeloid series
promyelocyte 1.6
myelocytes 15.8
metamyelocyte 9.4
........
basophil 0.2
Then the total M series 62.8

And then the Erythroid series
pro erythroid 0.0
....
Total E series 25.4

Then the lympas....
and finally M/E 2.47

Neil cleared the meaning of M/E for me, which took a lot of my mind. Besides deciphering the lab results, where can I get the list for the Normal range of M series and E series...? Or should I just accept that my M/E is normal, so stop worrying about the details in the list?

Please help. Thank you.
