Hello,
My father went in this morning for his "big" chemo and was told that his platelet count was a little high. They are still giving him the treatment but told him that it is something they will watch. I have tried to find info on this but to no avail. I keep reading about low platelet counts, but not high. Anyone with any experience with this, please let me know. Of course my mother is now worried. I figure that if they went ahead with the chemo, it isn't that serious yet...could be wrong.
Also, the oncologist told my father that he should stop gaining weight now. He gained 7 lbs. 2 weeks ago and 7lbs.this week. This is all after losing a whole bunch of weight! I am surprised she told him this. He is about 6'4" and weighs under 200. He used to be a big guy so this is actually thin for him. Just thought it was a good thing that he has been eating so well.
Any feedback appreciated!
Melissa
