Good grief, terribly sorry to hear about the decline in your counts, UJ. What is the mechanism that would the chemotherapy do to increase your counts? I always thought that chemo caused thrombocypenia or could make it worse. Wouldn't a transfusion help in the short run?
I hope you get some sort of treatment soon. It has to be frustrating!
