Platelets
Hi Shirlee,
You know some patients will be "resistent" to platelet transfusion - their platelets don't increase after transfusions. Since your husband seems to still have positive effect after 13 transfusions we can hope that he continues to respond.
I don't think anybody knows how long this can continue. If he needs surgery they can give him many platelets transfusion brfore the surgery.
Good that your husband has a partial response to Vidaza!
kind regards
