Platelets are critical at 10. I had lower. My wife has the same medical conditions as yours including platelet value. She saw my oncologist who did a bunch of tests and concluded nothing wrong, but continue monitoring. His explanation was The spleen is a small organ about the size of your fist located just below your rib cage on the left side of your abdomen. Normally, your spleen works to fight infection and filter unwanted material from your blood. An enlarged spleen — which can be caused by a number of disorders — may harbor too many platelets, causing a decrease in the number of platelets in circulation.
