Low platelet count and delay of chemo

@gamaryanne . Yes, why is pancreatic cancer so resistant over time! I did restart today, #9, lesser dose of 2 of the drugs.
As for chocolate - which I have always loved - cannot tolerate it any more. Same with coffee. I googled it, and it seems it's food with tannins that don't appeal to AT ALL, so off those for a while. The trial and error with food and drinks goes on.

Yes and since tannins bother you I’m sure a glass of wine is off the menu too!
Keep trying things. I’m have found things with BRIGHT taste works for me. Like sipping on real orange juice, some yogurts, popsicles, fruit but NOTHING dry . Used to love Fritos. No
more. Do like the core power protein drink by Fairlife and I also make my own with ascent powder

@katieliz Glad you restarted. My husband deals with low platelets so they went from 3 weeks on, one off to every two weeks. On the Thursday before treatment his platelets are checked and if they are under 125 he gets a shot if Romaplastin to raise them in time for chemo on Monday. He’s on gemabraxane but I’m sure they could go the platelet shot with other chemos.
