Can people with a low platelet count after having chemotherapy be at risk of thrombosis?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
The opposite: Any patient with cancer is at risk for thrombosis, but during the time that the platelets are low the opposite is possible. Depending how low the platelets are one can have easy bruising, bleeding from gums during teeth brushing, it is even possible to have dangerous spontaneous bleeding in different areas of the body if the platelets are very low.
