Platelet Count Low: Chemo Delayed

Posted by stparker54 @stparker54, Aug 10, 2020

Has anyone ever had their chemo treatment delayed because of a low platelet count? I was supposed to have my chemo treatment today (8/10/20), but doctor postponed it for two weeks because my platelets were dangerously low after just one chemo course three weeks ago. Meanwhile, my cancer -- clear cell endometrium cancer, a rare, aggressive form -- goes untreated.

Papaya leaves , directly you can get from papaya plants it's free and clean it before grinding. And if you don't see any papaya leaves, ask local vendors who are selling papaya to provide papaya leaves, it should be very cheap. And if you cant find it then you can get this Patanjali" Giloy Juice.

Bibhu: I got papaya leaf liquid extract yesterday (Oct.15), and started taking it right away. How long does it take to turn around your platelet count?

The papaya leaf extract did not work for me. I was unable to have my chemo on Wednesday (Oct 21) because of low platelets.

My husband just missed his 3rd chemo treatment because of low platelet count. Doc said it will come up on its own.
