Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your father has chronic myeloid leukemia. his total count is high. His platelet count is normal. Spleen enlargement is common in CML. But stage depends on the percentage of blast cells he has. Please send me the report of differential count so that I can help you further. Treatment options are imatinib & hydroxyurea or other chemotherapy.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
