Hello doctor, about 5 month before I tested CBC the platelet range in between 2 to 3 lakh .now a days my platelet is in range of 90k to 1 lakh in automated test but in manual reading it is in 1.8 lakh to 2.8 lakh .my pathologist said i have normally big platelet cell size. My question is why suddenly my platelet size is bigger than previous month or yrs .is this indicate any kind of future upcoming problem or it is just a normal mutation?
Diagnosed with dengue, today is 13 day and done my CBC and my concern lym % is very high and neut % is very low so please say why I am really very worried and report of today is attached
So i am someone who gets panicked due to the fear of what bad news the imaging or any medical tests will bring. Not afraid of the tests though. I have been having this pain near my tailbone which is lingering since a year now. I have had an xray which said nothing abnormal, yet i am afraid of MRI. Cause I read about Sacral Chordoma and its prognosis. I know an MRI can easily answer all my queries and rule that out and easy my mind but the fear that it will find chordoma has consumed me already. I want to ask few questions: 1. If it was to be sacral chordoma, I should have gotten more and more symptoms apart from pain right? 2. If the xray doesn't show lytic lesions and me being 27, reduces the chances of having Chordoma significantly? Please guide me and enlighten me about this as this is consuming me and i want to be normal again :(. I so badly want it to be pilonidal sinus but i dont have any swellings. I am so overthinking. Please guide me!
Hi, On targeted therapy, only palbociclib is available in india with low cost or verzenio also available please? I know ribociclib is only available as imported and its too costly as well. So doctors prescribed palbociclib indian version. But is it effective in liver mets which showed mild metabolic activity in pet ct. I have read many liver mets were taking verzenio or capecitabine. Please suggest
