Hi Robert, and welcome.

Congratulations on being transfusion-free these last few months. I'm sure you'd prefer to have normal counts and more energy, but you're certainly better off than you were when you were diagnosed last year. Platelets of 4000? That's just frightening.

Do your doctors at Vancouver General Hospital plan any change in your treatment, or are they satisfied with how things are going?

My dr.s at VGH say they will not transfuse platlets above 20,000. My platlets were at 4 the day my DR sent me for a cbc test. I had brusing and pichicti rash on my legs.I'm sorry I misunder stood what You said when I first replied. I am not very good at typing.
