About me:
Male, age 31, non-smoker, prev. Hodgkins Lymphoma treated with ABVD 6 cycles only. Some lung damage to Bleomycin.
I wanted to ask some advice. I’ve recently had an ongoing cough for around 4 months and noticed some finger clubbing (confirmed by a pulmonologist).
I’ve previous had Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2014 and am in remission.
The pulmonologist has performed CRP, ESR blood tests, lung function, X-ray and CT scan with contrast. All have come back normal.
The CT scan showed a tiny focus of Nodularity in the left upper lobe. I have been told this is normal and if they pulled people in off the street they would find this. It’s likely scar tissue I was told.
The finger clubbing has been put down as non-specific and the cough as a residual thing or perhaps anxiety.
I’ve also had blood tests over the last 2 years to monitor my bloods. I have noticed my platelet count may have a trend:
285 - November 2016
327 - June 2020
295 - July 2020
352 - June 2021
355 - October 2021
360 - October 2021
395 - June 2022
336 - July 2022
To summarise, do I need any further follow up and are the platelets of concern?
