rapid drop in platelet
Hi all,
My wife was first diagnosed with SAA in Nov 2011. She was treated with horse ATG and cyclo. We started to taper cyclo about a year ago from three 100mg pills per day to two to one to now one every other day. And just about couple of week ago, we started to notice bruises on her leg. CBC revealed that her platelet was only 6000. We just performed bone marrow biopsy at Md Anderson. It shows that her SAA is back.
The weird thing is that her platelet count was ok in mid September(120,000 which is the level she had for more than 2 years). And it took nose dive in just matter of days. Has anyone also experienced sudden drop in blood count like this? I am just wondering if in fact she may be dealing with something other than just a bone marrow failure.
