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. I suggest - First increase your oral intake of liquids and water Repeat Blood Test After 15 days Then Only we can conclude anything for the same. Next Steps Take Plenty of Liquids Orally. Repeat CBC test after 15 Days and Check your platelets counts.
