HI, I HAVE NONHODGKINS LYMHOMA CELL B LARGE...I AM CURENTLY THROUGH TREATMENT PUT MY PLATELETS ARE ALWAYS LOW AND HAVING DIFFICULTY ON GETTING UP FOR MY LAST RETREATMENT. THE DOCTOR PUT ME ON PREDISONE .... 80MG PER DAY FOR 3 DAYS. MY CONCERN RIGHT NOW IS I HAVE THESE BLOOD SPOT ON MY LEGS. IS THIS FROM THE LOW PLATELETS OR SOMETHING ELSE. DO YOU THINK I HAVE A GOOD CHANCE WITH THIS TREATMENT?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
yes it can be due to low platlets only most often. but treatment of your condition with prednisolone solely doesn't seems satisfying to me. u need some monoclonal antibodies for sure. i think its time to visit a better and more experienced oncologist now
