Seniorricco,
I do not have the 5q deletion. My counts the week before I started Revlimid were:
Platelets 39
HCT 30
HGB 10
WBC 1.9
RBC 3.08
My latest counts were:
Platelets 84
HCT 38.9
HGB 12.8
WBC 3.14
RBC 4.41
At one point my platelets were up to 148 with Revlimid, but they have been slowly going down. They seem to have stabilized in the 80s. This last reading showed all of my counts dropping a little. Hopefully this will not continue. I think I saw somewhere that about 20 to 27% of patients without the 5q deletion respond favorably to Revlimid. Hope it will work for you too. Good luck!
