Re: Temodal and low platelette count

Hi Kath, can't comment on the Temodal regime, but chemo Bruce had was
changed after the 2nd month due to low paletlets & neutrophils.
Only had two blood tests that came in low, waited 3 days and they were
back up within normal range to resume his chemo.
He always had more of a problem with neutrophils, ending up in hospital
for 4 days after the third month with a fever & infection.
