@stparker54, great. I'll be interested in their explanation and what you learn. Keep asking questions. They're important.

Hi
Ovarian c 3b carboplatin and taxicol? Spelling them both wrong, just had second treatment which the taxocol, ( u get it) lol ,was reduced one dose and treatment was extended with an extra hour, slower drip. And yes due to serious dip in platelet counts. Asked oncologist how much was a dose, meaning what percent. Not clear on that answer. Nor its affect on the schedule or cure. He’s assured me this is curable.
Only had 4 out of 6 appointments scheduled, and the scheduling told me he’s not available for the last 2 without an explanation. ?.??”???
Always questions, my heart goes out to you. stay positive, drink lots of water good food, laugh when you can and exercise in the fresh air if possible. Thanx for sharing. Your in my prayer bubble 🙂 yikes just noticed the date you posted, mybe it won’t mater , you’ll have learned so much!
