Hi,
I certainly understand your concern. I have a friend who had a low platelet count when she was young. Her level got down to 7,500. They did a BM bx and she was dx with ITP. Because her platelets were so low they gave her a transfusions of platelets. Then she was started on steroids. Her counts stayed up from the time of the first transfusion and to this day she has had no further problems.
A hematoligist just told me last week that low platelet counts are easy to treat with excellent results. Newer meds are on the market that are having great results. I guess what I am trying to say is that even if your platelets continue to drop this tends to be very easy to treat.
I hope this gives you some comfort and I wish you the best.
