Platelets have not been cooperative, so we're going to do a higher immunoglobulin infusion (2.5x higher), and drop the 5-FU and add in Avastin. Since they did respond to the IG IV, although not incredibly, it was still a low dose and thus expectations are that it's IPT (where your system tries to kill your platelets) rather than totally trashed bone marrow (although I presume mine is trashed to a certain extent). The upshot is that hopefully the higher infusion will allow my platelets to get up to a decent level, and that by backing off the chemo I might actually be able to stay able enough to continue to receive it.
