Not unusual: GCSF effects on PMNs are short lived(2-3 days), so the blood counts rise in 24 hours and stay up only for 2-3 days then they return to normal in 4-5 days. Platelet drops can be due to excessive PMN production as well as the continued effect of chemo. I would recheck the platelet count to be sure that they do not drop below 10, 000 which is a count that requires platelet transfusion. Good luck
