Hi everyone, Im confused about my Doctor here it seems they are giving me a cocktails of medicines, I finished my retuximab last dec. 27 i dont know if it is working with me now because of the cerebral stroke which I have in between the treatment they ask me to take eltrombopag 50 mg as well together with prednisolone, to make the story short I had cbc last friday and my count is 317 they are still ask me to drink eltrombo 25 mg and prednsolone 30mg im confused, how I will know if my retuximab works if I still drink eltrombo and even the count of 317 should I still drink it?

I wouldn't worry about whether or not Rituxan is working. The question I have is why you are being treated with counts so high? What caused the stroke?
