My mother's platelets are going up to 1000

Thank you very much for your replies. It is such a hard time for us!!! you all have access to good Drs and medicine, I know now that at the end we have to have faith and trust on something be it Allah, God..... where ever we are. But let me tell you that first God, the internet and the specialist in Aust. has been our resources and not the Drs or medicine in Iran.
I do not know what the outcome is going to be?? I just pray that they all turn out good!!!!!
But any way we stopped the cytarabine , stopped revlimid. We will continue with prednisolone and danazole.

I would like to request for bone marrow biopsy to determine what she actually has. My mother says that it is very painful, is it? and is it ok to do it in her condition? The Dr's diagnoses is from blood samples only, is that sufficient???
The specialist in Australia said if prednisolone is increasing the platelets then we better continue, I do not know if it is helping. she has had 10-15 units of platelets every day. what is causing the increase??
