Good morning @toepeekun. Mild to moderately elevated platelet counts are commonly seen when chronic inflammation is present. In other cases a high platelet count can signal a more serious blood problem known as a myeloproliferative disorder.
It sounds like you’re familiar with this. Have you been diagnosed with thrombocytosis or myeloproliferative neoplasm? Are you in treatment at this time?

Had surgery invasive breast cancer going into treatment just trying to educate myself looking through my own lab work

Hey @toepeekun, you might notice that I moved your post to a discussion talking about high platelet counts so you can bond with other members going through similar situations.
What treatment are you entering?
