It is understandable to be concerned about the ongoing reduction in platelet and ANC (absolute neutrophil count) levels. Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and its treatments can sometimes result in blood count fluctuations, especially with medications like dasatinib and imatinib, which can affect bone marrow function. While your doctor has reassured you about the MPV (mean platelet volume), which reflects the size of platelets, it's crucial to closely monitor blood counts.
Considering your concerns, it might be worth discussing the possibility of more frequent monitoring or conducting additional tests such as a bone marrow examination to better understand the impact of treatment on your father’s blood counts. If the platelets continue to drop or other blood counts are affected, it may require adjustments in therapy or supportive treatments.
I recommend following up with a hematologist to ensure that all factors are being considered. If you'd like, feel free to connect with me directly for a more detailed evaluation and treatment plan.
