What can cause a low platelet count?

@steveutnv I had the bone marrow biopsy and aspiration, genetic/hereditary blood work, spleen, kidney. liver, thyroid checked and all good. Mine went from 70 to 92 the day of the bone marrow biopsy and stayed there for 2 months. Next check was 58. There is no cause for mine either which is pretty frustrating. Did they put you on any type of med when it fell before 50? I go back the end of the month and if below 50 that is what the hematologist wants to talk about. I am almost 72 and she said there are not many options, and I won't do steroids. Hope your biopsy was all clear. I am also wondering why they waited so long to do the biopsy - 10 years is a long time!

@chenn I waited so long because my Doc said it was "up to me." However, after I lost 40 lbs, he said it was no longer optional. And no, he's never put me on any med.

I finally got the results and didn't see anything that worried me. I meet with my oncologist the end of July.
