LOW, low platelets Taxatere& Carboplatin,anyone?
Hello fellow her2 friends,
Happy new year! (Hope you had a nice new year's celebration- I was booked at the treatment center new years eve.) I have had 2 treatment cycles of Herceptin,Taxatere, and Carboplatin. After the 2nd cycle, my platelets just dropped to 43. SCARY for me! I have had drops in platelets on Gemzar too, but this is the lowest I have ever been!!
I have been on Taxanes before (including Taxatere) and always had normal levels of platelets. Have you seen low, low platelets with Carboplatin such as 43?
Did you ever receive a dose reduction in Carboplatin due to low platelets?
How soon did platelets return to normal? - Lida, "Petrified by Platelets"
