THE LAST MONTH I'VE NOTICED ON MY BLOOD COUNTS THE PLATELET COUNTS GOING DOWN EACH WEEK. MY COUNTS ARE STILL GOOD AND NO-ONE HAS SAID ANYTHING TO ME. I'M DOING HERCEPTIN WKLY (ONLY 3 TREATMENTS SO FAR). WHITE CELLS GOING UP, RED CELLS ABOUT THE SAME BUT PLATELETS SLIGHTLY DOWN EACH WEEK. I'M GOING THRU A PHASE OF BEING PARIONOID ABOUT SPREADING. I KNOW I NEED TO FOCUS ON WHAT I KNOW AND QUIT WORRYING ABOUT THINGS THAT MIGHT NOT HAPPEN. HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED PLATELET COUNTS DOWN DURING HERCEPTIN?
