    Marion,

    I didn’t remember if I saw this one, but it was nice to have a refresher.

    Thanks so much for being up on everything and helping all of us handle things better through knowledge. It is so appreciated. I have only begun my journey with this cancer demon and I’m stockpiling everything that I can for my future battles.

    My heartfelt thank yous.

    Linda Z.

    Marion,

    I had been on the chemocare website a while ago, but missed this segment. Thank you too for posting this. It was a great reminder to check those areas out again.

    Hi All,
    Three months after she started chemo, and 6 weeks after she began cisplatin, my Mom’s platelet count was too depressed for her to get her dose this week. This is no surprise. Frankly, we have been surprised that she has gotten this far with just fatigue and a tiny bit of extra hair shedding.

    Question: has anyone had any luck with a more rest, better nutrition, anything else in getting the blood work back to normal?

    God bless you all for helping, for caring, for patiently undergoing treatments.
