Wink Platelets

Jordan, Thanks for your reply, I sometimes feel very selfish that I complain about my illness and symptoms and there are so many out there that have it far worse than me. My platelets were 83,000 last week and have dropped to 61,000 this week. I'm going to Moffitt on 8/20 so I guess I'll see what's in store for me then. The Dr feels that it's critical when one hits 50,000 and then will do something about it. They treated me last time with Predisone which brought the count back up but they said I couldn't stay on it for a prolonged period of time because of the side effects. I hope this note finds you well and I hope you will continue to write. All of you give me hope every day by your questions and compassion for one another. Please keep it up !!!!
