Yes this is perfectly normal. Mine was postponed 3 times. The first time it took a week to recover and I recovered on my own. The next 2 times it was with the help of time + blood transfusions.

If you can tolerate them right now eat lots of cruciferous vegetable to help your body rebuild those platelets.
