A member asked:

My mom is going through chemo therapy and her blood counts are to low. can i give to her my own platelets?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, if needed: Platelets can be donated by any family member but are only used if the platelet counts go down drastically like close to 10, 000(sometimes used for counts under 20, 000).
