Hgb and Platelets improving
Hi All,
After 12 weeks on Thalidomide at 75mg/day and 14 weeks on Promacta my Hgb has increased to 7.0 (from a minumum of 4.5) and the platelets to 31(from a minimum of 9-10).
We think the Thalidomide may be the main contributor to the good response but the Promacta may be helping the platelets. I've been on the Promacta for 14 weeks and there was some increase in the platelets prior to the Thalidomide.
Whatever the reason we are thankful that my counts are improving steadily and hope the good response continues.
