We'll my dad got his latest CBC on Tuesday and again he was able to skip a week with getting blood and only needed to get platelets. Third time this happened since starting cyc. Although his kidney levels were up again which is why the doc doesn't want to continue with it. He wants him to start promacta at the first of the year. The doc doesn't have a lot of experience using promacta for SAA. So I have a couple of questions.

What dose do they typically start with and how long does it take to get to max dose? What is the max dose? Side effects?

Good news is with the help of the doc and pharmacist they are able to get the cost down and make it very affordable for my parents!
