Hey Freedom!
Thanks for the info. Down here south of the border, as well, Revlimid hasn't been approved for us non-5q minus folks.
So, if I decide on Revlimid, I'll either have to sweet-talk my insurance company or find a clinical trial. I might go the latter route in any case, just to help build up the dataset needed to see whether it's worthwhile for non-5q- folks.
I appreciate the info on platelet impacts. I've picked up from folks on marrowforums that the reaction to very low platelets can be highly variable person to person.
Take care!
Greg
