Evans syndrome?: The first question you want to ask your physicians is whether this is evans syndrome, which can be difficult to manage. The abnormality may be considerably increased platelet and red cell precursors; if the cells themselves are bizarre this may be a pediatric myelodysplastic syndrome. In any case, you have an absolute right to know the physicians' thinking. Glad junior has a proactive dad, good lu.
