Well I like your sense of humour, indeed Guinness with Milk was the old cure for everything. I suppose eat greens brocolli, sprouts, dark chocolate and maybe Liver, I know a lot of people dont like liver, but I do, then I have to be different dont I? Mostly they come back up themselves in their own time. Wishing you well

Hi Eily I'm having the same problem myself along with low neutrophils and have already had one delay to my chemo. I found the following sites about how to boost the platelets and sent my husband out with the shopping list today! Good luck - let me know if you find anything else that works.

I get injections to do at home that kick starts my bone marrow because I was neutropenia after chemo...perhaps ask about this as an option?

I have read that Kale and time helps to bring up your platelet count.
