Aging ; Healthcare: It all depends on the diagnoses, the medications she is on and your family's choice around the healthcare she should receive. Many families begin to withdraw things at the end of life or late in life such as blood draws, testing and examination. There is really no right answer to this question.

I get blood work done every few months and have had slowly rising platelet levels for over 3 years. I didn't even notice until this last test showed a 419 level. It's been in the high 300's for the last 3 years but this is the first time out of range?
