Well, it appears that Shauna is another relapse statistic. Thankfully the Dr. is restarting the cyclosporin before she hits transfusion levels and we have hope that this will be enough to at least stop the drops, if not turn around the situation. She was in remission for over 2 and a half years with normal counts and off cyclosporin since April of last year. Then her platelet level went from 150 to 92 then 75 and Hgb and white counts have dropped as well. I think the most telling stat though is that her lymphs now outnumber her neuts whereas since remission she has usually run close to 2 to 1 neuts to lymphs. Thank you to all who encouraged Paula on her husband's relapse as that has been encouraging to me as well.
