Just don't know what to do. I've been sitting on a low platelet count for 26 years and a mild macrocytic anemia for a shorter time. For one and one-half years my platelet count has ranged from 27,000 to 21,000. Now I've reached below that threshold of 20k - 19000.(starting to get scary). It's coming down to the wire where I must make a decision. Should I take Vidaza and risk plummeting platelet count or go for risky BMT ( in my late 50s)? Should I go for a clinical trial with Promacta or Nplate?? Watch and wait has served me so well for so long, I think I'll wait a little longer. Anyone out there who has taken Vidaza with this low a platelet count that responded well??
