I will have Platelet Count this Friday for the 2 weeks on 2 MG per day, the first 2 weeks was on 1 mg. per day they went back up to 900  from 463.  Is high Blood Platelets a form of Cancer and am i being treated with a Cancer drug??
Hi, high blood platelets count may be due to a cancer which is called as essential thrombocytopenia. It is a myeloproliferative disease. Or it may be due to reactive thrombocytes. You should go to the hematologist and diagnose properly. Then only take Chat Doctor.  Go to the hematologist, investigate properly and then take treatment accordingly. Thanks for using Chat Doctor,
