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