Promacta working

Hi Sally,

It was good to see your positive reports on Promacta. I'm feeling very blessed today because my lab report showed my platelets have reached the low normal range. They have jumped up over 110 since I started the Promacta 10 weeks ago. I've been taking 75mg once a day along with 1mg. of Prograf in the am and pm. My doctor said she wants me to stop the Promacta in two weeks which will be a three month course of treatment. She mentioned side effects. I haven't been able to find much information on Promacta regimes and I'm wondering if it's prudent to stop something that is working so well. Has anyone had experience with this?

Feeling very fortunate today, also love talking with another "Sally".
Sally D
