Hi Mitten, sorry to hear your diagnosis, my brother died from MM he developed from being exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam. Because of that, my Oncologist naturally zeroed in on MM when we discovered I had. MGUS. My precancerous cells fooled her and are progressing into a rare form of Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma called Waldenstrom Macroglobulemia. My platelet count is also low but still in low normal range, so I looked for foods that can increase them. I also looked for foods to avoid that reduces platelets. Because of other blood issues “I’m damned if I do and damned if I don’t” as the saying goes. You see, I tend to throw clots because to many platelets stick together. I’ve thrown clots that have almost killed me in fact. So my options are to either bleed to death from lack of platelets or throw a clot big enough to kill me because they’re to sticky. It’s a delicate balance, my last count was 170,000, low level is 140,000, 50,000 is a disaster waiting to happen. So as the saying goes, “Be carefully what you wish for, you just may get it”!!!
