Thanks for your informative post. May I ask you age? I am 75 and was diagnosed 4/30/25 with a platelete count of 553. I'm on baby aspirin right now. Hoping my next blood test in July will show my levels did not increase. Fingers crossed.
Happy Memorial Day!

Hi @pamandsandy,

Platelets can fluctuate without doing anything I know from my own experience. Mine went down by 400 from one lab to the next one month apart. It really does seem like a numbers game as docs like to treat high platelets. Please report back what yours do on after your next lab in July.
Happy Memorial Day Weekend to you too!
