Low platelets

Hi ececim,
You know I was thinking like your mother during four years after dx and told my doctor that quality of life is more important to me than a long life. I understand that your mother doesn't want chemo with risk for severe adverse effects.

Now you can only try to avoid all kinds of infections - they can decrease all counts. Then you can avoid everything that can decrease platelets - many drugs like pain killers decrease platelets.

She knows that you support her and is grateful for that.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
