My dad and I are pretty sure that pentamidine is behind the low counts these past two weeks (blood, platelets and neutrophils). My mother is not getting this again. We remember that real low counts came 3 months ago when she got it.
I have no idea why my mother is still getting it, when her neutrophils have been averaging over 1000. When I said this to her doctor, she said, "The ATG is still in her body for a long time, that's why." ATG, I know, can continue to be effective years later after it's given, but I still don't know what ATG has to do with getting Pentamidine. I just let it go. Talking to these doctors at times is mission impossible.
We're still waiting to hear back from Dr. Young's office.
All the best to you all
