Follow-up Lab Results

Hi Everyone!  I had my follow-up lab work done on Feb. 13th and got the results yesterday. They are sending me to a hematologist because my platelet count is low. Anyone have ANY IDEA what the heck that means??? Has anyone had this same type of issue? I'm reeeally hoping its nothing, but wanted to see if anyone else has had this same type of issue and it turned out to be something or not.


Thanks!

I had the same thing happen along with a low red blood cell count.  The hematologist said the only way he could find anything out would be to do a bone marrow biopsy.   He said they would just keep an eye on it.   I go every six months.  Let me know what you find out. Janet

So, what have you found out on your bloodwork?  I hope all is well. Melissa

Hi Melissa!  I haven't found out anything yet. My appointment with the hematologist is next Tuesday, the 25th. I guess I will know more then. I am worried about it because it could be anything from the platelets clumping up in the test tube to cancer....  :( Karine

I hope the appointment goes well and it is nothing.  Good luck and be sure to post when you know something. Melissa
