Subject: Revlimid - low white blood cells/platelets - experience?
Date: 02/27/2008
Hi,

My mom is on revlimid. It has helped her immensely, Her Myeloma cells decreased about eighty percent; however, as a result, she has had extremely low platelets and white blood cells. Her doctor stopped the revlimid mid-cycle.

As a result of the low WBC count, she has had neupogen injections everyday for a week. This doesn't seem to be helping. In fact a couple of days ago the WBC count went down.

She has had platelet transfusions at least twice a week.

I'm wondering if anybody else experienced this on revlimid. If so, can you please tell me how your doctor handled it? Were you able to eventually resume the revlimid?

Thanks in advance.
