Low Platelet count with cancer

My father has lung and liver cancer he has had 3 rounds of chemo and went for his 2nd blood test his first one his platelets were 90, and today they were 12 so they gave him more platelets and he broke out into hives. Is this normal or something to be concerned about?

I've had several platelet transfusions, and got pretty itchy with one.  Did they give him an antihistamine as a pre-med?  That has helped me.
