You will find that quite a few people on this forum had to forego the third chemo. My husband had to because he developed serious deep veined thrombosis. His neutrophils were so low at that point that he couldn’t even get the medication fo the DVT. It did recover after a few days. The chemo doctor at Princess Margaret Hospital, who is a leader in her field, told me that he would be alright with only two chemo treatments. I also met other patients at the chemo unit there who could not get the third chemo because of the low neutrophils.
