Hi Nadia,
Don had Campath in the spring of '09. He had a partial response with only his white cells. But I do believe it also saved his life.
I don't know if you will have the same protocol. He received Campath for 10 days in the hospital. I think I read somewhere that they are giving Campath as out-patient now and possibly a lower dose.
I think you have to wait a while before you can take Promacta after Campath. They do wait approx. 6 months to see if you respond although sometimes it can take longer. But you may get a great response and your platelets won't be a problem.
NIH is wonderful!!! And the doctors are so accessible and helpful. It's a first class operation - a real healing, positive, upbeat place. You couldn't be in better hands.
Keep us posted. Good luck and God Bless!
Sally
