We are in the process of finding another doctor. We see a new doctor in Lubbock on Monday so wish us luck. I am hoping that we will get all the necessary tests done then. I am also hoping that we can just stay on aspirin which is what my husband is taking right now to try to take his platelet count down. I'll let you know what happens. We are from the United States - Texas. Wow, you are a long way away being in the Phillipines. Do you find that you get good care there? Are you happy with your doctor? American doctors do not like their patients to ask questions - they think we are "playing doctor".
