The doctor said I was low risk. Even so I am terrified of having a stroke or any type of Cardiovascular event. I can’t be under the constant worry and stress. This was the first time I saw this doctor. The one I had seen prior had retired. But I remember him telling me that once my platelets were over 1 million I would need to come back in and get medication or if I had any type of cardiovascular event or stroke I don’t want to have to wait that long in order to be put on some kind of medication, I figured it’d be a lot worse because, I would have to take other medication as well
