On the topic of platelets, the chemo brought mine down extremely low, below 10, several times. Nose bleeds, little red spots on your collar bone, and fatigue can be indications but mine was always picked up in the blood test run prior to infusions. I was given platelets at the hospital outpatient area at least 3 times. I was on Folfurinox. I did try dietary remedies but they really only helped to provide a little more energy. The measure of whether chemo was given was always about my neutrophil number. I think the low platelets contributed to bringing it down . My oncologist ordered the platelets but they were administered at a nearby hospital. Not infusion center.
