I have (AML) Leukemia and ITP. I am currently in Chemo Therapy. This chemo knocks my platelets down even more than ITP. .  .Sometimes to the single digits. I am almost always under 20 and I am constantly requiring transfusions to get them up?!  Is there any medicine booster than can be used in concert with chemo and leukemia to bring them up without danger?

  • ITP since 2014. Retired nurse. My belief is empower patients to be involved as much as possible in their care. Read, read, read & ALWAYS question medics about the evidence base they use.
