What To Do For Reducing Platelet Count When Having Cancer?
My husband has stage 4 cancer and his platelets were 71 last week and 35 this week, last chemo was 5/11/12. His MD is on vacation and the on call nurse said to redraw in two days. How low can these go? What should we do?
Sorry, I just saw the fees and we have not a single penny for help, thank you anyway...

Prolonged low platelet meaning thrombocytopenia could be as a result of chemotherapy.
There is no medication that can increase platelet.
The body will automatically increase the platelet count after the effect of chemotherapy is over.
U husband can try folvite 5 mg tablet once a day.
