My mom is platelet transfusion dependent and she was diagnosed only 4 weeks ago. The other day she got 5 units of platelets and her platelets went from 21 to 15. Yes, you read that right. They are starting her on HLA platelets which I believe are crossmatched and they are supposed to be better and they are the next step once a patient becomes refractory. I don't know to much about it all but I hope your dad gets better. I feel so helpless sometimes...I just want to make my mom all better. I wish you and your dad well.
