George,
Is your diagnosis MDS or AA? I'm assuming you have MDS and got the AMG531 in a clinical trial.
Can you tell me about any other side effects? After stopping the drug, you mentioned that your platelets remained elevated for 12 months. Did your blast count return to pre-Nplate levels after stopping the drug?
Do you have any remaining negative effects from your experience with AMG 531?
Did the platelets increase within days? weeks? of starting the drug? Do you plan to try Eltrombopag, the oral platelet drug coming soon from GlaxoSmithKline?
