Platelets increased to 65

Hi All,

I've had an interesting Nov-Dec. I was hospitalized with pneumonia on 11/8 for 5 days of antibiotics.

I've continued to use Promacta and thalidomide since June 09, We added low dose Dacogen (one infusion per week) in mid Oct 09.

My platelets have increased to 65 and the other counts are increasing also, especially since the pneumonia was treated.

We are not sure what causing the increased counts, I'm on 3 drugs at the same time: Promacta, thalidomide, and low dose Dacogen. Since things are looking good we are not changing anything at the moment.
