Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your low count is due to effect of chemotherapy. No any drug treatment is required. Diet does not affect platelet count much. But many times kuice of papayas leaf is helpful in incresing count.If you show any sign of blbleeding then consult your physician urgently.
