Hi Tim, You have low platelets, which would put you at a lower risk for blood clots. But with AFIB your cardiologist is trying to avoid any complications with clotting. So this is a really good question for both your hematologist oncologist and your cardiologist as to whether you should stop taking the Eliquis or not. Members in Connect aren’t able to offer any medical treatments or advice on stopping medications.

You mentioned in another post that you have noticed small red dots on your skin which can be an indication of low platelets. Have you talked to your doctors about this symptom? Our medical teams can’t help us if we don’t let them know of changes in our health. So don’t hesitate to call your oncologist office.
How low is your platelet count?
