Managing Low Platelets on Empliciti/Dex?
AI-generated title
My husband has been on Cytoxin/Dara/Dex. In December his Oncologist switched him to Pomalyst/Entricity/Dex. He had one treatment with all three, but his platelets are low, so Dr. discontinued Pom. So he is now only on Emplicity and Dex, until further notice. We really do not understand if this is of any use. Dr has not talked with us about this. Sending him a message when I finish this. We really do like him, have no thought of changing, but information is crucial. Husband had a port put in , because nurses had a hard time finding 'good veins'. He was given two bags of platelets at time of placement. Next day was treatment day. His platelets rose from 31 to 44 at that time, even with the added platelets. Have asked numerous people nurses, doctors how to increase his platelets. No answers. First what do you think of only Pom and Dex, and does anyone have an idea how to increase platelets?
