My mom has multiple myloma. Platelet counts keeps dropping. Doc is giving procrit injections to boost blood cell, but nothing additional for platelets. Anything out there effective for boosting platelets? She s currently getting 2 chemo injections per week & takes steriods Mondays thru Thursdays.Has taken revlamid in the past to boost counts & it worked, but side effects were bad bad bad. Doc discontinued revlamid becuase of that, but may start again (lower dose) soon because her counts are so low.
Thrombopoeitin injection might help in boosting platelets, but a number of injections is needed for this to take effect
