Hi ,
We are four weeks into our treatment and the blood results are all within the ‘normal ranges’. Platelets dropped from 500k to 230k in the first three weeks aswell as wbc down to 8 from 50k. Basophil, neutrophils etc are also within the norm.
Is it ok to consume alcohol in small amount if her liver levels are all within the ranges? Does it have any impact on Dasatinib or CML? She takes sprycel in the morning, so it shouldnt interfere with alcohol in the evenings i suppose.
second question - We are slightly concerned about the big drop of platelets - everything is more or less stable, haemoglobin red cells etc are all good, its just the platelets that are dropping. Is it normal for them to drop so much and will just stabilise?, as our concern is that they will continue to drop. We believe that the protocol is to take action when they drop below 50k, but we think that if the trend continues to go downards maybe its worth taking action beforehand for example when they are below 100-80?
looking forward to your replies
