Steve,
You may want to talk to the GP about the GI stromal tumor finding as well and whether that could be contributing to the platelet problem or whether that is something separate to investigate. It seems like the report is saying to rule out the "colonal cause of dysplasia" before making an MDS diagnosis. My guess is that "colonal" is not a typo but means pertaining-to-the-colon or GI tract.
