Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have chronic myeloproliferative disorder. It may be essential thrombocytes or chronic myeloid leukemia. Chemotherapy is the treatment of choice. Bone marrow transplantation is the other option. Imaging is helpful in chronic myeloid leukemia. You should go for flow cytometry to the confirmation the diagnosis then you should take treatment accordingly.
