By the way, if it so happens that your father need to stay in supportive care, I recommend that someone in the family with same blood type to HLA typed for platelet match. What will likely happen is that his days between transfusion will get shorter and shorter due to build up of antibodies. But if he can find someone who is platelet HLA match, transfusions will last longer. This is what I am trying to do for my wife.
Anyone can donate platelet once every 10 days.
Good luck,
David Kim
