Low platelets

Hi Rose,
Have you read what Kirby has written about his treatment with the new drug Promacta for low platelets? The drug is only approved for the bleeding disease Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura bur Kirby managed to get it though he has MDS. I am hoping to get the drug myself.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
71 yo, dx MDS Interm-1 May 2006, transfusion dependent, Desferal and Exjade for iron overload, Neupogen 2 injections/week for low WBCs, last platelet count 32, asymptomatic
