    Enlarged spleen and low platelets

    @lilywing thanks for your message its good to hear you're keeping well anyways :) there was talk of a splenectomy but same as you said the doctors wouldn't advise doing it because of infection etc. but I think it could still be an option...even if they took half of it out! They always look...

    Enlarged spleen and low platelets

    Oh that's good that they could do it :) I'm suppose to have surgery on my back but because there would be so much blood loss they can't do it as I have something like 25 platelets, there all getting stored in my giant spleen!

    hemoptysis caused by zithromax?

    Hey, Just thought id share my experience....I kept getting haemoptysis with hypertonic saline so I switched to pulmozyme and have had no problems since, hopefully it stays that way! But apparently hypertonic saline is more of an irritant and haemoptysis is less likely to happen with pulmozyme
