Welcome, Lindy.
I hope that becoming better informed will help you cope and let you feel more in control. After losing your mother to AML it must be hard to face a blood-related disease.
Do you know what your platelet count is? Do you have trouble with bruising and bleeding or is your thrombocytopenia mostly asymptomatic? Some people do fine despite having low platelets so "watch and wait" is a sensible strategy.
I assume that your other blood counts are normal and I hope they stay that way!
