Thalidomide + Revolade
Dear Neel,
As far as I understand Thalidomide 75mg/day isn't working so well now and your father's doctor is increasing the dose hoping that your father will respond again.
Many high risk MDS patients try Vidaza as first drug. Thalidomide is not approved for MDS.
Some patients who stop responding when they get Thalidomide try the similar drug Revlimid with positive effect.
Hope Revolade (Promacta) will increase the platelets - several members of this forum have had positive effect when they are treated with Revolade, that not is approved for MDS.
Thalidomide, Revlimid and Vidaza don't increase the counts at once but can decrease counts initially.
Hope Thalidomide + Revolade will have a positive effect!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
