    I know how you feel. My platelets are notoriously low, but once they start rebounding, they do it in a big way. Two weeks ago, mine were 92,000 and last Friday they were 94,000; today, they were 123,000.

    Yes,

    I'm praying for you.

    Are they giving you medicines to raise your platelet counts up? Also, how do you feel generally?

    It usually takes a couple of weeks or so.

    Stay strong and hang in there.

    platelets
    How those platelets? Can get frustrating I know. I have only been on schedule two times out of 13 treatments because of low platelets. And I am taking Neumega shots to boost them up!! Go figure!

    I know I keep saying this, but I know we are each made differently and maybe we just can't all take chemo every 2 weeks, or 3 weeks and maybe some of us just don't fit into the regular mode. Some maybe need a week or two longer to rebound.

    My doctor said I have weak bone marrow!! Guess so after all this chemo since February 2008! I imagine it would be weak. Has not had much time off to recuperate. ☺

    Hope you are back on schedule!

    Love,
    Libby
