Thanks Neil for your helpful comments.

I'm back from the hospital after seeing the haematologist.
My CBC is about the same as previous. Platelets still low.

I check with him & he said my MPV of 9.8 is considered high as the normal range here is usually 7-8+.
Neil, you're right, he explained about MPV & said my case at this moment is ITP. (But doesn't rule out the possibility of MDS later on)
He mentioned that the polyclinic had tested me early this year for Hepatitis & SLE which were negative. (I thought they did only CBC & blood smear)
He told me to watch out for any new symptons, then he may consider doing BMB.
If my platelets continue to remain low for another year or two he may review the need for BMB even without new symptons.

Will go back to him for another CBC next year.
