My husband has been diagnos with liver, lung, stomach cancer and just had his first chemo treatment and went back to have his second treatment but his labs were low and couldn t get his treatment. Our concern was what the HGB, HCT and PLT levels was low and we didn t understand what to expect or what to watch for.
Chemotherapy causes myelosuppression that is it affects bone marrow production of blood cells. So if hemoglobin and platelet count is already low giving chemotherapy would further decrease the counts. I hope you have got your answer.
