Liver transplant low platelets and chemoemboluzation

I am on the transplant list and have liver cancer plus hep-c, they have tried to do the chemo but my body is killing the new platelets as fast as they put them in, they put in 2 sixpacks and my count was still approx 19000. Is there anything way to icrease the platelet count or temporarily slow down my imune system or splen ( have enlarge spleen) so that the platelets aren't destroyed as fast?

do not worry about the platelets.  they will hopefully recoup after the transplant.  there really is nothing to do right now.  there is a new pt to increase the platelet count but only if there is a specific indication.  believe it or not its not that low.  avoid taking motrin and that family of medication as they affect platelet function
