Treatment

Hi bgagnon,
Too bad with the pains that prevent sleep - when we sleep the immune system is repaired so it is important that we get some sleep. Most painkillers can decrease platelets but morphindrugs are supposed to be OK for the counts. Can't your dad ask for some kind of morphin like oxycon?

Hope the port will function.

Vidaza and Revlimid often initially decrease counts. If it is possible you should try to get copies of your dad's lab results so you can follow the results.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
