Brief Answer:
You need urgent treatment for bleeding due to low platelet.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have ITP with bleeding. You need emergency treatment. You are already taking Nplate but its not sufficient. Your immun system is destroying your platelets.
Intravenous methyl prednisone or immunoglobulin is required to suppress your immune system.

First you need to stop bleeding and improve platelet count. No treatment is required for CLL right now.

Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.

Brief Answer:
If you have no bleeding then its ok.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. If you have no bleeding then its ok. Your platelet count is low and there is chance of bleeding. So keep close watch on bleeding. And if you have bleeding then consult your doctor urgently. Sometimes internal bleeding occur and it leads to emergency. So keep close watch. Consult your doctor as early as possible.
