Low platelets

Hi S001 and Bebop,
When the platelets are less than 10 you could perhaps ask if there is any possibility to get Nplate or Promacta? Your fathers don't have anything to loose. If they get increased blast cells the drug can be stopped and the other adverse reaction - increased fibrosis - takes months to develope. You know that there are members of this forum treated with Nplate or Promacta with positive effect on the platelets.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
