Do you think of it was cancer would other symptoms be presented ? I am very sacred for him. Is their other reasons petechia would be showing and coming and going ?
Looking at blood and what not is their a recommendation you have or thought on diagnosis ? I know the doctor mentioned previously s put his blood coagulated normal
With this being an issue since May 2018 would you feel cancer?

Brief Answer:
Blood coagulation factor should be done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thank you for asking again.
If it was cancer other symptoms may be present as possible masses or changes in the blood film.
I think his doctor should check his blood coagulation factor levels (Factor 8 and 9) levels.
Also, s/he may check the Vitamin K levels.
Since it's been almost a year (from May 2018) without any other symptoms, further evaluation necessary.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
