What The Counts Actually Mean In Myelofibrosis Patient?
Hi my grandmother is diagnosed with myelofibrosis and her count will now not stay above 4 at most 5. I am just starting to learn about this disease and unclear on what the counts really mean. I know that she is in a lot of pain and that we are nearing the end. Could you please clear up what the counts actually mean

and due to repeated trauma to bone marriw , finally bone marrow go into fibrosis
so it can be any one cell type count , that is in excess in blood picture
