Should I be worried about a 454 platelet count, and could it be higher due to having flu-like symptoms? I got this result at the gynecologist, and the nurse referred me to a hematologist, which has made me anxious about possibly having cancer.

What should I do about the platelet count and my gynecological issues?

Should I be concerned about this nodule, and how long should I wait before seeking a doctor's consultation if it does not resolve on its own?
