I am not a doctor but a para medical. Increased platelets count is known as thrombocytosis. Now there are many reasons for this condition. Just get your blood bleeding time and clotting time done. If you find any abnormalities then immediately see your oncologist. If report is normal then also I would advise you to see your oncologist soon.
