TASHMAC,
Please read my posts about my husband's journey with Promacta.
He was the first to try it as an MDS patient in a clinical trial. While he took a chance, it really paid off. He is now 3 years transfusion independent after over 125 blood/platelet transfusions. They have had great results at The National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., USA with both AA and MDS.
If I can answer any questions, please feel free to ask.
