Hi Cat - Yes, everything just plummeted. We were seeing an improvement after Cycle 1 and even through Day 5 & 6 of Cycle 2. But yesterday's numbers very likely mirror your Dad's. His ANC was .2 as well (I slept in a different room since I have a scratchy throat); and his platelets after skyrocketing to 230 (from 17!) have started going down too - 144 yesterday, but still good. No need for a transfusion at this point, but he has labs again tomorrow and hopefully will not need a red cell transfusion since his HGB was still good at 8.8. But man, his belly is red red red. Yesterday was the first day he complained about it and even took some tylenol to relieve the pain. He says this most recent cycle has just wore him down. Still hopeful things look up again like they did last time. How is your Dad holding out?
