Hi Ziad,

I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad's dropping platelets. I know that Birgitta mentioned Promacta (Eltrombopag/Revolade) or Nplate (Romiplostim). Both of these seem to be able to increase platelets in some MDS patients. Is it possible you could obtain access to one of these?

Take care!

Greg
