Can anyone interpret these findings for me?

This is the bone marrow biopsy findings:

Final Diagnosis:

Bone Marrow, Aspirate Smears and Sections:

1. Hypoerceullar marrow (70-80%) with granulocytic hyperplasia and megakaryocytic hyperplasia with dyspoietic changes (see comment).
2. Blasts < 5%
3. Decreased storage iron
4. Flow cytometry: No evidence of monoclonality in B-cell population; no increase in CD34+ immature myeloid cells

Comment:
The findings are suggestive of myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative disease. Correlation with clinical, other laboratory (B12, folate) and cytogentic finding is suggested.

HEMOGRAM:
WCBC, 6.2;
RBC, 3.14
HGB, 9.5 g/dL
Hct, 28.9%
MCV, 92fl
MCH, 30.3pg
MCHC, 32.9g/DL
RDW, 18.4%
PLT , 347
MPV 2.9 fl
neut, 69.8%
lymphs, 17.7%
mono, 11.2%
eos, 1.2%
baso, 0.1%

I have no idea what these numbers mean. Can anyone please interpret these for me? Thank you
