Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Yes, definitely cancer will grow fast, in fact flare up if you stop chemotherapy. And low platelets are not at all indication for stopping chemotherapy. So I advise you to consult another oncophysician and get done platelet count again and discuss starting of chemotherapy. Start as soon as possible to avoid chances of distal metastases.
