Low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia) can occur during chemotherapy treatment, and this concern is shared by many in the HER2+ community. It's important to discuss any blood count changes with your oncology team, as they can monitor your levels closely and adjust treatment timing if needed to keep you safe throughout your therapy journey.

Yes!!!! After round six I was super weak. A month out, I am still super fatigued, but I do feel a little improvement each week. It took four months to deplete my red blood cells; it will take a while to build them up.

That is something I went through as well @ Denise. If they are too low the Oncologist may wait til they build back up for your nxt treatment, but staying hydrated is key, and get fluids if you need to. We are here for you, you are strong 💪 and courageous Joshua 1:9 Hugs 🫂

I went through this same treatment ladies, and it felt rough at times, but we are tough 💪 ..I am praying you all through this journey 🙏 Be good to yourself...get fluids, as that definitely helps. There are also smoothies out there that help too. You will get through this.💗

Yes, I experienced the same. Each treatment they go down. I have one more treatment of chemo and hope to get back to normal with platelets and red blood cells soon. Hang in there ladies and god bless us all through this storm.
