Hello all! Im a 35 y/o female who was diagnosed with ITP in March of 2020. My hematologist started me on prednisone which helped keep my platelets at a safe level but due to side effects I was weened off. After a year he started recommending a splenectomy but wanted to try rituxan first. 1st and 2nd does of rituxan raised my platelets to safe levels but plummeted to a 4 the 3rd week of treatment. After a consultation I opted to get splenectomy. It’s now been 3 weeks since splenectomy, the day after splenectomy my platelets were at 90k (highest it had been since diagnosis) and 2 weeks later 57k. I have gone for blood work every week but stopped keeping track of numbers as I am scheduled to see my hematologist on Friday. I’m worried that my splenectomy was not a success. Any suggestions, comments? This has been a traumatic experience for me as my friends and family are supportive but not educated with my diagnosis.
