Dear Elrojo: I don't know your history but I would say you are doing better than you are giving yourself credit. yes, your platelets are not quite in normal range but you're not that far off! To put things in perspective, I have AA, had ATG in FEB., and my platelets never rose past 30,000. Now, that is a below average number. My Hgb is 8.5, and again you're doing pretty well at 10.8.
Be optimistic, it appears your numbers are going in the right direction. Of course the most important thing is how you feel. I hope well.
