Hi Steph
Thanks for replying,i'm having a bit of a melt down day today.The only reason I am having an aspirate is due to my platelets staying around 110 and not picking up. I have no bone pain.My onc thinks that cancer cells in my bone marrow may be destroying the platelets. I asked why they only destroyed them and not my white or red cells which are picking up nicely. he said that platelets are more vulnerable.
