I too would find it very troubling that they are not willing to take a look at it or at least give you some insights as to maybe why your platelets have dropped.

Is Budesonide a steroid? Stopping it may have temporarily disrupted your system enough to effect your platelets. Steroids are very confusing for the body.

Regarding your question on Dana Farber....Why not give them a call and see if they can offer any peace of mind. What did your GP say?

I wish I could offer more support. Just know that you are doing the right thing and you will prevail.
