Question About High Platelets In PV With Upcoming Surgery

A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭
Houston, TX

I have PV and have platelets in the 1000 range. My oncologist says no worries until it reaches a million. But I'm having a major surgery soon. Anyone know why high platelets are not important? Thanks
