Just curious... what does everyone use as their 'anniversary date'?
Do we use the day of our mamagram when something 'suspicious' was found? The day of our bioposy? The day we heard the horrible news that we most assuredly had cancer? The day it was taken out of us? I read all these posts about anniversary and I'm just not sure what mine will be ;)

Rising Platelets
Anyone have any problems with rising platelets on chemo? My sister has just had 2nd treatment, but, platelets rose from 240 to 600 after first round...... Onc said he won't worry about it until it reaches the 1000 (1 million) mark. Has anyone experienced this and what was done for it? Thanks.
