I'm feeling really anxious because my platelet count has dropped to 80,000, and just three days ago it was at 85,000. I'm really scaredis this a sign of blood cancer? I don't have a fever or anything like that, so I'm just confused and worried about what's going on.

Many a times , due to dehydration, platelets count comes low. So nothing to worry.

Repeat CBC test after 15 Days and Check your platelets counts.
