My current understanding is we should never hesitate with lung issues. I'm currently having quite the battle. They are thinking growth pneumonia. Platelets have dropped from 200's to about 4-6's. I have needed platelets daily for about 10 days now. Most days just 1 unit, other days 2 units. Blood in lots of areas. Started on high dose prednisone 10 days ago and now Rituxen treatments started the other day.
