Hello,
With his low platelets, he is at risk of bleeding with any surgical procedure, he would need platelet infusions to bring them up to an acceptable level.
If the pain in his breast cannot be managed medically then surgery may be the only other viable option for him.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
