[Kyriak51]

kyriak51 here: When I was started on rituximab I had failed dexamethason and IVIG and my platelets were 10K, I was in no position to argue with a 50% response rate as 50% is better than nothing. I was told by my colleague infusing that did not see a response until after the third dose hopefully your wife will be in that 50% of patients who had positive results. The next step for me was Romiplostim which has worked well since 2010. Check out nplate.com for more information, select “ see How Nplate works and watch video you’ll learn a great deal about ITP, the more you know the better your care. The longer we can maintain your pregnancy the better the outcome , 32 weeks would be great! Please keep me informed of your progress and be positive. Georgia
