Hi KMac,
You are correct about Don's response to Promacta (Eltrombopag). It is nothing short of amazing. And as you said with the AA patients, it also raised his red cells so he became transfusion independent for blood transfusions as well.
We are very blessed as the whites and reds are now normal - platelets last check about 123,000. There was a time that Don was on our Oncologist's "death list". Sometimes it's just a matter of finding the right drug. It's easy to deal with being on no MDS meds with those counts!
Thank you for your kind words. I wish you the best.
God Bless,
Sally
