Well, he will need a transfusion if it continues to drop.

The Oncologist possibly can order medication to increase plts count, i.e. Neumega.  

I don't know of any diet or food for this.  

What has the physician/Oncologist recommended?

Count is 39.  Not low enough for transfusion.  not sure what all is in the chemo, it's my dad.  Think it has periwinkle and some tree bark? roots?  I have to get the paper.  He has non-hodgensons it came back from 7 yrs ago and changed.  The chemo isn't killing it.  We're doing the green juice and juices.

I don't know anything diet wise that will or that is garanteed to increase plts count.  

What has your physician recommended?  

It is always a given chemo will knock them down, but hopefully you body will compensate.  If not, your Oncologist may need to order plts transfusions and/or medication to boost plts count.  

My I ask what is your chemo regimen?  What has been ordered?

How low is your plts count?
