Low counts

Hi Patti,
The only study about Revlimid (lenalidomide) and Dacogen (decitabine) I can find is still recruiting patients and we have no results: http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/N...domide&rank=37

Still I don't think Dean's doctor will continue with Dacogen because Dean had so severe adverse effects.

Perhaps Dean's doctor would let him try Promacta or Nplate for his low platelets before trying a new chemo. You could look at Kirby Stones personal profile and posts - he has a very caring doctor like Dean and has tried both these drugs for low platelets.
Here is a study about Promacta (eltrombopag) in MDS patients. Thrombocytopenia means low platelets: https://www.eventure-online.com/even...ongressId=5650

There are many studies about Nplate (romiplostim) in MDS patients: https://ash.confex.com/ash/2011/webp...aper36244.html

Kind regards
Birgitta-A
