Cheri,

Isn't this a crazy disease. Just when you're about to take a new step, it goes all weird on you.

I'd say ask the docs. Will they have the BMB info? That may be a key consideration. But if things are stable at the moment, maybe they won't mind giving you a couple of weeks grace period.

On the other hand, it might be better to start something new when you are doing a bit better. Do we expect that the drugs are going to lower your platelets before improving your counts? If that were the case, going in with higher plates would definitely be an advantage.

Always tough decisions . . .

Good luck (I'm glad the soggy camping went well.)

Greg
