Hi Gayle,
I was on Revlimid, and am still taking this medication, and my counts got dangerlously low. My doctor took me off of the chemo until my counts bounced back up to an acceptable level, whick took about 4 weeks. When my counts dropped, I was getting transfused weekly with not much of a change in my hgb, usually only a point rise. For me, coming off the chemo made a difference and my counts slowly recovered. I was placed back on Revlimid, but at a lower dosage, and seem to be tolerating it much better.
