my platelets dropped in a period of about 3 weeks from 165 to 56, to me this seems to be very quick.
I am on Xeloda and the onc is thinking this may be the cause.
my question is, if the Xeloda, or bone marrow mets were responsible for the drop, wouldn't it be over a period of time and not just "whammo" down it goes.
I was feeling really well until one day when I was off colour and the same day had a really bad nose bleed that seemed to last forever. and for the next couple of days was really off colour. not to sure if this was an symptom of the platelets dropping.
