my 11 year old son had his spleen taken out in feb last year ,today he has had a relapse he came out in bruises so we had his bloods done and his platelet count is 43 , he had 3 spleens one large 2 small they removed 2 through keyhole and left 1 which was attached to his kidney and now they think it has grown and functioning and eating his platelets so they say they will try to organise a indium labelling scan in aberdeen which they were only able to do it in manchester or london so its good scotland can finally do it.
