I am not familiar with this type if cancer but my dad underwent chemo 4 times
with platelets as low as 2000. If we ever got to 20,000 , we were rejoicing.
The rule which our hospital goes by is less than 10,000 before platelets are
given.
I am not familiar with your part of NY. I am listing a few Hospitals of
Excellence in the state of New York. If you are not at one, my
recommendation is to call one. If you are at one of these I would strongly
suggest a 2nd and 3rd opinion if necessary.
Good Luck.
