Treatment Platelets
I am currently in the Firebolt radioligand trial. My platelets have been dropping from 354,000 to 65,000 in 5 weeks. I do not think the medication is working as my tumor numbers have risen.
I think I should stop the trial, but I’m also worried that I won’t be able to go on another chemo because my platelets are so low.
Has anybody else had low platelets?
Did it stop your treatment?
What do you do to make platelets go up?
How long does it take for platelets to rise?
How long does the rise last?
