Thanks Briggetta for the link. My mother's platelets was 110 in January 2013 day treatment started. After first round they jumped to 297 then after 2nd round they dropped to 237 so looked like some response was being made. She then started her third round of Vidaza 7 days followed by 10 of Neuprogen however only two doses given in her new port. 10 days later she was hospitalized with a port infection and port was immediately removed. She spent 4 weeks in the hospital. On day she was admitted her WBC 5.97 RBC 2.81 Platelets 79. It was a roller coaster ride for the next 4 days. Being diagnosed with pericardial infraction, squamous cell skin cancer, high blood pressure. On day of release her counts were WBC 2.67 RBC 2.51 Absolute Neutrophils .8 HCT 28.1 HCG 7.9 Platelets 7.9 last week when she started round 5 platelets jumped from 118 on 5-1-13 to 456 on 6-3-13. The number he seemed concerned with is neutrophil granulates which went in the same time period from 2 to 11.9 this site is amazing so much great help and information.
