My mom has ovarian cancer and since her surgery in late december, her body is not producing platelets either. She's trying Promacta...and so far in two weeks, they haven't raised (currently at 3,000). She gets both blood and platelet transfusions too. Talk to your dr about this, you never know.  What is your count?

I thought many women ended up getting a transfusion of platelets as needed.
