Medical question regarding blood work?

My mother had a complete blood test, and they found her to have high platlets. They also said her white blood count was slightly lower than normal. She has to have a bone marrow biopsy now! I am a big time worrier, Is this a common thing that i am blowing up to be more than it really is?

    The doctors have a list of what should be normal for every person but sometimes with age and health problems or just because a persons blood results can vary slightly. A good doctor will do further tests do make sure that everything is going on ok in the body, this is something they do and is part of their job to investigate as to why certain levels are lower or higher than normal.

    Please dont worry too much, looks like the doctor is on it.

    good luck.
