Your test results could indicate that you have moderate aplastic anemia, but other causes might also be the explanation. The doctor may want to watch your counts over the coming months and/or do other blood tests before making a diagnosis. Since you are asymptomatic I think it's wise not to leap to conclusions or contemplate treatment without knowing more.

If you want to learn more about aplastic anemia, just in case, order the free information packet from the Aplastic Anemia & MDS International Foundation.

You might want to use a spreadsheet to track your own counts as you and the doctor look for trends over the coming months. And be sure to let your doctor know that you're the type of patient who wants to know details, learn what it means for you, and be a partner in your own medical care.
