platelet transfusions

Hi everyone,
When my father went in for his 2nd round of Vidaza, he was told his platelets were too low to give the treatment so instead he received a platelet transfusion. His platelets were at 10. I thought I had read somewhere that platelet transfusions don't last long and can only be given a few times before they become obsolete. Is this right? Does anyone have insight into this?

thanks,

Kim
