Giant/large platelets is just a comment from the pathologist. I have them sometimes and I don't think its much of a concern unless they are there in large quantities, when they might cause bleeding. I have never see a blast count on my routine 4-weekly path results either - only on bone marrow biopsy results - and I don't know whether it's withheld or just not tested for.
