Low platelets: I'm sorry to hear about your father's passing. There are many reasons for low platelets besides leukemia. Check out http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/thrombocytopenia/ds00691for a short list. Best thing for your overall health is to quit smoking. And get your diabetes under control. If you have sleep apnea, wear your mask nightly (as untreated sleep apnea is linked to greater risk of sudden death).
