My husband was diagnosed with MDS 6 months ago. He has had 2 rounds of chemo treatment. His oncologist wants his platelet counts at 20 or above. R has blood drawn every M,W,F and every time he has needed platelet transfusions and sometimes red blood transfusions. R is tired most of the time but he has been advised not to take iron supplements. He had a stem cell transplant 5 years ago when he had myeloma. He is 78. Is there any natural way to increase his platelet levels and get his bone marrow working again?
