My Dad died was created by lwhodge
I have been on the PDSA board for 7 years because my dad developed ITP at the age of 84.
He went through several treatments, but finally stablized pretty much after having
Rituxan. I think he took the series of treatments 3 or 4 times. He never was able to get off a small dose of :) Prenisone, however. His platelet count never returned to normal,but was over 100 for the last 2 years or so. He was 91. I will miss him so much!

Not sure why there is a smiley face beside Prednisone. It's not a drug to smile about!

I lost my Dad 2 1/2 years ago, he was just shy of his 94th birthday. So thankful he was in my life that long.

My thoughts are with you and your family, I'm very sorry for your loss.

Sorry for the loss of your Dad. My condolences go out to you and your family. It was nice that your Dad was able to keep his ITP under control and that the Rituxan worked for him.
