Question: last time I had bloodwork done 4trs ago and PLATLET COUNT WAS 98 .. just had bloodwork done a week ago and PLATLET COUNT WAS STILL LOW .. Doctor didnt seem concerned as everything else looked fine .. Does this mean I have Cancer cause PLATLETS COUNT IS CONSISTANTLY LOW
Brief Answer:
Not have cancer
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Your platelet count is OK.
You do not have cancer
Sometimes platelets aggregate to form giant platelets which may cause platelet to be little low
Since you are not having any history of weight loss there is nothing to worry
