Question Another question

So it's been a few weeks and I wanted to update you and also ask you all a question. Mom's platelet count went back up into the 30 to 40 range and has been that way for six weeks. The CSa treatments continue with no real progress.

Question(s): about how long did it take for you to see a real increase in your blood counts?

Did you have issues with establishing a Csa blood level...especially when you initiated the Csa treatment. This is extremely frustrating...how long did it take for you to achieve the therapeutic trough range (150-180)? And on what dose? I do not understand why my mom's troughs vary so much. Is that even normal with this drug? Also how long did it take?
