Platelet count check this morning - 45,000
Dropped 10,000 in 4 days. WHILE on Rituxan and dexamethasone.
So now I am faced with one option- splenectomy.
I have to go back Monday again for a count check. It's getting too low to not check. If it drops much more I will need a platelet transfusion.
I have an appointment next Wednesday with a surgeon too. We'll see how that goes.
I'll also be calling my dr at Columbia University to see what he thinks. Not sure if he will know much seeing he works with spines but I guess it can't hurt.
Not much else to say today. Just wanted to get the info out. I'm still kind of out of it from finding out. I don't think I mind the idea of surgery so much as the idea that my platelets just keep dropping like its nothing.
Vacation please??
