Hi Alcof,
I have been keeping up with your posts. So thankful your Dad is doing better. You are a great advocate for him and obviously love him very much.
My husband had great success with Eltrombopag without being on Cyclosporin. I do have to add that he had no response with the Cyclosporin but don't know if that makes a difference.
If you would like, please read my posts about his journey. He came from being on our Oncologist's "death list" and over 125 blood/platelet transfusions to being transfusion independent for over 3 years post Eltrombopag. He stopped the med in 2012 due to platelets going over 100,000 and has yet to lose his reponse.
While I know every case is different, I hope this helps. By the way, he has MDS.
Best wishes and God Bless,
Sally
