Thanks Sue! Wow! That's great for your husband. I read a study from the Netherlands that showed that patients whose platelets go up early in Vidaza tend to respond better. I doubt that the tea could give him such a large improvement. My dad also is low in all three lineages, rbc, wbc and platelets. He has required blood every 7-10 days since November and platelets every 2-3 days. Is your husband planning for a SCT?
