Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I don’t understand the message below. My husband just completed chemo and they told him he is in complete remission. After chemo, however, his platelets dropped. It has been 3 months since chemo and his platelets are still only at 90. Based on the below, does that mean he is in stage IV CLL? , Nothing new. Physicians have moved toward cytoxan in place of chlorambucil because it seems gentler on the marrow. I am not sure I understand the significance of a drop in platelets from 184 to 162. Remember that normal is still normal (and anything above 150 is normal) and 100 is the cut-off used for stage IV CLL. Perhaps your oncologist also noted something else.
