Hi there
Is there anyone out there on the Laptinib/Capecitabine combination who knows about platelet counts? My platelet count has dropped over the last four blood tests and my oncologist is kicking off about it. I have searched the Internet to find out protocols and prescribing information on what the minimum platecount count can be to continue on this combination of drugs but have been unable to find anything to answer my questions. My oncologist, as usual, is not forthcoming with information.
Thanks for any help and advice about this.
I am about to start this next week. How have you found it? What Se have you had? There are other ladies on the same, so there should be someone along shortly who can help

Lines are open to Monday to Friday 9.00 – 5.00 and Saturday 9.00 – 2.00.

Thanks, June, I will take your advice.
Sarah, if you want to PM me I can run through my experiences. They are different for everyone but if I can help…
