My platelets were down as low as 20(10 is transfusion) and a week after that they are at 405! So, I was able to get chemo today. They reduced the dosage a little to see if I wouldn't tank so much. 'Will be interesting. But, it's good news that I rebounded so quickly. Thanks for all the good wishes.

    Good for you
    I am happy to hear your platelets recovered nicely. Someone told me that sesame seed oil or tahini (made from sesame seeds) is supposed to to good to eat to bring up platelet count.

    Good news, Ginny. My
    Good news, Ginny. My platelets hovered around the danger zone but never dropped so low that I had to postpone chemo. My hemoglobin was another matter. It took 6 pints of blood to get me thru first line chemo.

    It's always something, isn't it?
