Thanks to all of you for your replies. It's so comforting to be able to hear from/share with others that have had to deal with the same disease. I spoke with the coordinating nurse and his doctor today and both said not too worry about the platelets. They will be keeping a close eye and be giving him transfusions as needed. He has no bleeding even when he is as low as 6 so while they don't like him to get that low, the doctor is less concerned as he is asymptomatic (he gets really tired but that is more likely from low HGb). I pray to God that he will respond to the treatment. The next 3-4 months are going to be so stressful .
