Update on platelet count ... was created by bell1138
Just wanted to let everyone know that my daughter went to the hemo yesterday and after 2 weeks on prednisone her platelet count was 500,000. After the first week they were 120,000 so the dr cut her dose in half and this week they were 500,000. I feel very happy and greatful . I want to thank everyone that has answered my post and helped me with all the questions I've had. I'm so glad this website exsist , it really provides a lot of support.

Wow - that is one fantastic response! I've been on the PDSA forever and have rarely ever seen counts that high from Prednisone. At least you know what works!
