Hi PrettyFunky,
The more you delay treatment, the less likely you are to respond to it. So do not delay.
Even fast tracked, it will be awhile before Promacta is available for the treatment of SAA. I think I read 1-2 years somewhere… Also, Promacta is very expensive and the insurance companies make the doctors jump through many hoops before they prescribe it for ITP today. Even if you are able to get it outside of the clinical trial, the cost may be prohibitive without insurance.
