Hello!

My husband was in hospital for treatment with ATG, cortisone and cyclosporine, plus some other drugs. It started June 14th.

After almost 3 weeks at the hospital he came home and had been going to hospital twice a week to consultation, blood tests and transfusions.


Today low fever, nausea and vomiting took us to hospital to know that zooster herpes is doing this.

His platelets account was 4 (!) after treatment.
Monday it was 22; today is 14.
Tomorrow he'll have platelets transfusion.

Regarding WBC, today it was 1600 (he is on shoting - 1 every two weeks to help WBC development).

Hemoglobin is 7.0 so doctor said he'll have a blood transfusion tomorrow. He had the last one in the day he came home from hospital, almost 3 weeks ago.
His last platelets transfusion was 10 days ago.

I must tell that he did very well during treatment and all this time until this week.

Monday doctor analyzed his reticulocits. He said that in the beginnig of tratment they were 0. Monday it was 1.6, so doctor told his blood marrow is starting to work.

I want to share this with you and ask for your opinios.
They help us very much.

Thank you!
