@katieliz It has happened to me several times. My platelets went down to 44 at one point. My platelets, white count, red count have been a problem and Chemo has been stopped several times. Now after 3 weeks they have started me on all new meds because Gemzar stopped working. This week I was okeyed for the new drugs. Everything looked good except my glucose was over 300 and now, I am a diabetic. Good luck to you.

@kathy74 Thank you. Hope things go smoothly with your new chemo regimen, and no other complications. I guess we all just go forward and roll with the punches. And stay positive, and enjoy each day. I am 72, but have a lot more living to do! Expecting first grandchild in February - definite motivation. Thank you for your concern and same to you!
