My last count was 83 and got a CBC yesterday and just got them back. They are down to 32 :( so I made an appointment with the oncologist for next week. I really was thinking that they would be high, I'm feeling good and not bruising, I had a broken nose 2 weeks ago and it healed really fast and nice. I'm at a loss, he said I would not have to come back until it dropped below 50. So its up then down :(

Boooooo for your drop in platelets. It's always such a sad feeling, isn't it?

It's always rough for me when I feel physically great and then the cancer center calls to ruin my day. :(

Here's hoping that they rebound quickly!

I def feel your pain. I was at 251 one week and 5 the next. However, I do not bruise,bleed or feel bad at 32 so you maybe in good shape. Was the doctor ok with that count or want to treat you?

Going to family doctor on 5/22 for another CBC and H-pylori test, then Oncologist on 5/23. I'm bruising again and very fatigue. Trying to keep my head up but very sore in the hips and when I sit down I have to sit on a pillow. I've talked to my family doctor and I can due pred but hate the side effects and took a pain pill yesterday and it didn't even touch the pain.... :(
