A member asked:
Im receiving chemo for nsclc and blood test shows platelets are low, 43, what can be done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not at risk: You are unlikely to bleed due to platelet count of 43. Your doctor will adjust your medication to adjust for your blood counts. It is not a do it yourself issue.
