I have a blood disorder (factor X1 deficiency) which means a problem with clotting.  My platlettes usually run low however whilst on chemo they went up to nearly normal!!!! Queer heh.  The lowest they ever got was 77 and I was whisked off to a hemaetologist for extensive tests - only to find nothing.  They usually run at around 100 but after chemo they were 140.  Hope all works out well for you. xLeonie

Well back at the quacks today, ( not my doctor again) told to have more puffs of ventolin up to 12 if i need mmmmmm. and also on antibiotics for a week and steroids for 5 days (prednisone) yep as if i need steroids. probably a different sort ??

hi fran, there does seem ongoing ordeals after BC .i used to hate all the tests / blood tests/ visits to doctors etc. 

 over the years things have settled down for me with yearly mammograms and ultrasounds, plus bloods also for checks, ( normal over 50 and 55 checks etc)

 i did go through a " rough" patch. it has taken over 10 years to get back on track. life is never really the " same" again.

 it changes, and i have adjusted now finally, and  try and accept what life throws at me and deal with it. this is not always easy though.  i have also had some blessings on the way too.

 i had a cough/ virus last spring and the doctor i saw also said.. take ventolin, which i have never had before. i tried it a couple of times, it helped a bit, but not sure if it was asthma.

 just lately i have been having some chest/ arm pains on walking up hill. so i am having a stress test on heart on monday next week. and my cholesterol is up, so i am on low does aspirin, just started. i feel a little better already. i am going to have to do a low cholesterol diet and exercise etc. i want to be around for a few years yet, hopefully!

of course ageing comes into it too. we are all getting older.

sorry about your friend dying recently and i hope the live enzyme test is looked at soon.

i guess it would be scary with a strong family history of ovarian cancer and breast cancer.  thankyou for the blog.

cheers for now, sending peace to you and a  hug, kathy.

Must be going around Fran cos I had a virus last week.It went straight to my chest and was coughing and wheezing.I've never had asthma in my life.So had to go get a ventolin from the chemist- better now.Low platlets mean you might bruise or bleed easily..Your level isn't too bad.My girlfriend has had low platlets for years and they can't find anything wrong with her.

Hope you are feeling better soon..
