Hope all goes well for you Franky and the platelets start to come down easily as you go onto medication. Do keep in touch with the forum, and don't hesitate to ask questions if you feel confused about anything.

Best Wishes,

Ur platelets are very high but dont worry things will be fine soon. Mine were 1500 wen diagnosed , dr initially put me on anagrelide but I cud not tolerate.So since then on aspirin only.my platelets are in 1000 range always.
