My daughter 28 was terrified to have her spleen removed and went through hell in for 1 yr. blood work was checked every week, besides the prednisone in basic treatment 4 rounds of rituximab was given(by the way if 1 round doesn't work don't let them prescribe more) platlet count only when up when given NPlate . she maintained a super healthy diet. Nothing made the platelets go up. Finally she got her spleen removed. platelets are steady@ 350,000. Fall out from all treatment numb right arm, foot neuropathy. Regrets not getting her spleen removed after 3 months of standard treatment. Good luck to you and be careful with your medication they come with side effects.
