What does high blast cells mean that show up in a regular cbc? i have leukemia n can't go into remission, so i feel like my doctor has given up on me.

Consult: I'm sorry about your illness. Some types of leukemia are often curable; others are not. The fact that you have written tells me that this is time for a review by a second specialist in leukemia -- not because i suspect error, but because communication may have broken down. You have an absolute right both to clear answers (outlook, options) and to feel cared-for regardless of your illness's course.

If i order a CBC test, would this be enough to tell me if I should get checked for leukemia? I don't have insurance and don't want to go see a doctor
Cbc said my platelets were 112 and mpv was 11.4. Doctor wants repeat in 2-4 weeks...To me this doesn't look good.....Isn't it likely to be leukemia?
Would the ER test for leukemia if you went with symptoms? Doctor can't do anything but a CBC test with a pediatrician opinion, so he said I *could* go
