This drug helped me get through surgery to remove brain tumor. After weekly injections for three months, my count was high enough for surgery.

After only three treatments with this injection my platlets have remained within normal range. Last injection given to me was Feb 2011 and my platelets continue to thrive. However, I still get monthly blood work to monitor my platlet levels. So far, no bad experiences.
