Hi On another website ladies
Hi On another website ladies have mentioned eating red skinned peanuts help with low blood platelets. As for flying while blood count is low I guess that would be up to her doctors to decide. I have flown while underging chemo and had no problems. Jenny0 -

I had my first chemo in Octsaundra said:I fly
I wear a surgical mask and fly. Never caught anything in three and a half years. It's a risk though if your counts are low. I don't purposely expose myself usually though. Saundra
I had my first chemo in Oct and in Nov I flew from Dallas to W VA and back, all in a period of 3 days. My counts, both red blood and white blood, were low but I did just fine. I would not have chosen to take a vacation in the middle of chemo, but my mother-in-law died, so there was no help for it.
