My 78 year old father has some of the same traits. He had had a high platelet count for 6 or more years, diagnosed with MPD. Recently, is doctor has said he shows trailts of MDS as well. After a round of vidaza and two rounds of dacogen chemo, his counts all dropped way down. Ten days ago he had 2000 platelets. Today he had back over 2 million. It's very unusual to have traits of both, but it is possible. I can't understand how his marrow can make too few reds and way too many platelets.
Praying for those in need.
