Re: How do you boost your platelets on Kadcyla

Lorraine has had a good response from beginning , some tumors disappearing after 3 doses . but had a quick plat drop. after 7 doses her plats went into 70's. she reduced to 3.0, and continued good response. just alittle slower , ned by one yr on t dm-1. then sepsis from old stents sent plats to 20's ! briefly , then 40',s , low 50's. fortunately Gen. listened to her docs , and gave her some weeks to recover.
3.0 took her to ned by nov., 2011. we do a neo-paleo diet , some red meat , greens like kale, spinach , nuts , berries, and sharks liver oil, chlorophyll from health fod store, regular rest and light exercise. in fact , a" brisk " walk before blood draw may boost plats by 10,000 , try it ! we take breaks regularly - 4, even 5 weeks. be a squeaky wheel ! hope the break gets you over 75 ! . Lorraine s plats are in high 60's to low 70's. 80's twice, 90's once this yr. after almost 3 full yrs ! we hope to go to every 4 weeks, even if we have to come off study , if our hospital allows 4 weeks. then to 2.4 next yr , if ned continues ( Praise God ). Good Luck - God continue to Bless !
