Breast cancer weird blood results

Beats29
Offline

Feeling a bit overwhelmed 

pre surgery bloods lymphocytes were below normal range , tried  to raise this with consultant who completely dismissed it. Had surgery , then did bone density , diagnosed with borderline osteoporosis. Had bloods again , now neutropiles are also below normal limits & platlets have fallen to 180 . Results have been flagged but no one is talking to me, all I have is a rheumatology follow up phone call in January .I feel very let down by MacMilan nurses , I don't have a named nurse ,only contact has been purely transactional , buy this surgery  support bra , do these  excercises.

im not on any medication , although about to start Letrozole . Any thoughts on weird bloods & what I should do ?thanks in advance
