My mother's platelets are almost 50 after 3 days after a transfusion. This is unprecedented for her. She is always between 10-20. We can now say that the platelets seem to be rising.
Her blood did drop a lot since two weeks ago, but the hematologist decided not to transfuse until she goes under 7. She saw that it rose from 8.6 to 10.5 the other week. That was a big jump.
My mother will have gone almost an entire month without a RBC transfusion if she holds out to Friday.
If the horse-atg is a success, my mother is indeed a very slow responder. It's almost 7 months out since atg.
We are cautiously optimistic. You never knew where aplastic anemia will take you.
Health and happiness to everyone.
