Just Keep Eyeballin' It
Hi H
My spleen was enlarged and may still be to some degree, I've lost track. My platelet counts took a permanent beating from the Oxy. Even 18 months post-chemo, they are only about 100,000.
Just keep asking questions and keep checking it with your scans - that's the only answer that I can offer. They tried to remove mine, but I told 'em, "keep it in."
We need to hang onto the spleen unless it is medically necessary to remove it - it does alot of good cleansing and filtering and gets rid out of bad and dead red blood cells.

Thanks again you are always so informative and helpful God Bless. I have heard platlets can remain low for awhile after Chemo and does have an affect on the Spleen. The positive thing is I don't have pain on that side so I don't feel there will be a need to have it removed not yet anyway hopefully never. It is helpful to have especially with cancer. I hope your feeling well these days. Have a good day! Talk to you later! Hugs.0
