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?

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

Iam female 25. I have a swollen lymph node right under my jaw(not so big, when we touch we can feel a wide bump). Sometimes it shrinks a little bit and then swell. Sometimes it is a little bit tender. I have a history of allergies. I dont have any other symptoms. I first noticed the swollen node 2 months back after a fever and it is still there. After taking an antibiotic it didnt shrink(only took the first dose).A blood test was done.
