Juanita, This new oncologist I thought was better...and she is in some ways. But I am starting to have some problems with her also. I see her this Monday and we ARE going to talk. (She knows it to!@)
You asked about my other counts...she is good about keeping those all up there. In fact...till i had her...I didn't know about Procrit, or getting Iron IV infusions if your low..nothing. Let alone Neulasta. The first oncologist gave me nothing!
But this is the first time she has let my platelet count get that low. I kind of thought 98 was pushing it. If it was 98 last week..it HAS to be lower now? I am concerned. That is important to keep up from the way I understand it. I don't want a blood transfusion.
Maybe she thinks when I come in for Herceptin Monday...she will give me some Procrit or something then? She better do something soon. I am worried. I am in alot of PAIN tonight..I wonder if that isn't alot of the reason why. Do you hurt more if your platelet count it low?
The only count that was low last week on Monday was the Platelet...all others were good. Maybe that is why she is waiting? (I hate it when you can't really trust the doctors treating you.)
Thanks for telling me what your doctors cut off point is. Much appreciated.
Chelee
