I'll be optimistic - maybe in the meantime your count will increase on it's own.

Hey all, I hope everyone is doing well.
Platelets back up to 66 after going back on the Doptelet a couple weeks ago. Liver enzymes are still off a bit. Had GI appt yesterday and he has ordered more blood work. I am feeling great now that platelets are back up. I sure can tell when they get into the 20's because I am tired in the afternoons and cut myself shaving.
