nplate update

Hi All, today I had my 9th dose of Nplate 1000mcg, platelets were 77 before injection. I find they have been fluctuating abit,last week they were 52, and at times the auto count and the manual count differ. Dr says this is common. Hgb slowly went from 11+ to 10+ and during this period had an episode of angina manifested by sudden fatigue and the slightest chest pressure. This resulted in an overnight admission where there were No new findings and they statred me on Imdur a long acting nitoglycerine to help improve blood supply to heart. I have felt fine since but less active dueto weather and numerous dr appointments. The Cardiologist will manage this medically and wants me to excercise as tolerated.Glad to be back on the low dose aspirin. Regards , best wishes Mc Gill54
