Hi Kate
While I was on TCH my plateset ( I call them the fellas) dropped for round 5 and 6. The first time, 93 they had me hold treatment for a2 days and they rebounded to 103. The second time however they bottoomed to 31. THe only thing they advised is to hold off treatment for 5 days. Again after 5 days the fellas rebounded. Of course avoid running with scizzors and bruising. My Onc nurse told me to watch for little purple rash type spots on my arm and legs.... this would not be a good sign and I should call them. Fortunately they did not appear. I choose to eat better during this time and if I could attribute the rebound to anything but natural body chemistry it swould be the diet I was on, high in protein.
