A member asked:

Low patlets during chemotherapy ? what do i do ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wait: The chemo will wear off. If you have spontaneous bleeding, report this to your oncologist. Otherwise, do nothing and follow their advice. They know what they're doing. Low platelets occur commonly with many chemotherapeutic agents.
