Just signed up Minutes ago and saw your post re platelet counts. I was 99 Feb., 72 in May, 62 in October. Starting tx on Monday! and so worried about the platelets. Hearing your 40 number really helped ease my mind! Stage 3 Janee56
Just a quick note to say hi and I hope today is a good day for you........
The hope of SVR keeps me from drinking too! It's been tough...I sure relate.

My platlets drove me nuts throughout the treatment. Started around 100 and the interferon ate them up. Reduction to 135mg helped and allowed me to complete tx along with Procrit (red blood helper and Negema-white blood). Platlets dropped to 40 but I continued and completed tx on 5/6/09. Hooray. Awaiting 6 month blood work (geno 2b,stage 3.5) for my final UND. You will make it . There are a ways to deal with platelets. Enjoy NC ? Just got back from Boone..beautiful. Good luck !! Hang in there. Jcb
