My wife has been having chemo for advanced bowel cancer .after 12 weeks scans show a favourable response. Great news we thought.
Then next chemo her blood platelets were to low to have chemo
Is this normal

Absolutely. What kind of Chemo is she having? My oral stuff alongside Radio was okay but the post surgery mop up where I went for an hour at the hospital, I only had 2 out of 4 cos my platelets and blood stuff wouldn't come back in time for the next round. I would say it's fairly common to have some issues like this, especially if you've been doing 12 weeks.
