Is Lymphoma Related To Dropping Platelets?
I am being watched at a cancer center for dropping platelets. I was initially at 130,000 and have over the past few months decreased to just under 100,000 in to the 90,000's. Today I had a lump excised from my elbow region and the doc called it a Lymphoma. Any connection?

Platelets can drop in advanced stage of lymphoma. There are many other causes of platelet drop. need to be ruled out by blood examination and level of various blood constituents. also some chronic diseases also lead to fall in platelet count.
