hi ladies. Strange thing happened the other day. I have been on ibrance and faslodex for over 5 years and usually all my blood work is good but this time my platlets were 515 and should be 440. My doctor isn’t concerned but of course I am. Has anyone ever had this issue. Thanks so much. Marianne

I never once know what my blood count was or something else that the majority of the ladies seem to worry about (of course, I cannot remember now:). As for asking other ladies, I would imagine we are all at different levels of our health and other medications one may be on. As long as you doctor does not seem concerned, I would try not to worry (I know easier said than done) but there are so many variables, I cannot imagine anyone would have the answer as to your specific concern, or even if they do, there can be so much more involved. I think the doctor would have let you know if he thought it was something he wanted to "keep an eye on." Hugs.
