Hypocellular mds and cyclosporine

Hi Chris, Sorry I'm late in my response, but have been away. Hope your Mom's platelet count has gone up on your last visit. When I first was diagnosed I had to have 2 platelet transfusions and Dr. put me on 30 mgs of cyclosporine. Yes, my platelet count dropped on this doseage. I was then sent to a Specialist in Miami, Fl. He put me on 300mgs and then my counts started to go up. I have now been on 100mgs for close to 2 yrs. and my counts, as of last visit, were back to where they were before I was diagnosed. I consider myself very blessed. Sure hope your Mom will do well on cyclosporine. Please keep me posted. Will keep her in my prayers
