Hi Danny,
Your WBC are good at 3.5 - 4.6. Your HGB is OK too - one unit of blood in 2 months is not much.
The big problem - as you have understood - is the low platelet count. There are no drugs approved for low platelets for MDS patients but you have been treated for ITP and may have tried Promacta and Nplate that are approved for ITP. Did that drugs not have any effect?
Vidaza like almost all chemo often decreases all counts initially. Hopefully you will respond early (after the firsts cycles) so your platelets will increase.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
73 yo, dx MDS Interm-1 2006. Thalidomide + Prednisone 2010 when my dysfunctional platelets were 22. After 4 weeks my platelets were 43 and then they increased to max 115 - latest count 77.
