 Does anyone have problems maintaining their platelet level?
 Mine fall down to almost ZERO, which is a dangerous place to be. I am 
 covered with big purple bruises and petechiae and look like I have been 
 in a bar fight. Even a light scratch on my skin brings the blood to the 
 surface. It is called Thrombocytopenia. My red cells also plummet and I 
 had 6 blood transfusions  last week.
 My confidence waivers a little as it seems they don't really know what 
 to do about me. I have lots of complications. More specialists on the 
 horizon, but every step forward is followed by 3 steps back. I am on 
 massive prednisone for the moment.
 Can anyone share  info on this?

  I also have problems with platelets and WBC.   They go way too high.
 Only on Tasigna did they drop too Lowe.  Go figure.  We are all unique in

  Moffitt tomorrow.  I am hoping for good results.

Hi Marty,

I just saw your reply to Susan about having a stroke. When did this happen?
I've been sick and did not have access to PLM so I didn't know you were
ill. I'll say an extra prayer for you. I hope your feeling better.

Hi Marty. Hang in there. Both my grandmother and mother had strokes in  
their 70s.  They both lived to almost 90.  This new chemo I take has  a side 
effect of blood clots and strokes.  Pill and faith.  Praying  for you daily.  
When the group reads this message let us bow our heads in  prayer for Marty 
and everyone.❤️❤️

Hi Skip,

With all that you have been through and still going through you are the
longest surviving CML patient that I know of. 37 years and counting, but
who is counting, you just keep on going on.

This is for you to continue on 18's dear Skip.

Re: [CMLHope] Platelets

2015-05-24 Thread Marty Gartenberg
Hi Angie,

Please read this about the effects to not only your platelet counts but
also your red cell count. Ragavan gave you some valuable advice but you
need to find the best supplement that contains the best form of Papya leaf
extract. By the way when I had my bone marrow transplant one of my friends
got me some of it and it did work.

Let me do some research and get back to you. In the meantime you must be
extremely careful not to injure your self. don't walk around barefoot or
even use slippers. It will not offer any protection if you should stub one
of your toes. I know all about that because it happened to me.

OK on to some research. By the way I am slowly starting to recover from the
Staff infection in my lungs. I have a picc line and wear an infusion pump
24/7 for the next few weeks.

I will get back to you

18's,

Marty

 I can't wait to try it as my platelets are still so very low in number.
 Minimum level is 150-450.I have 9. I have red spots all over me and

 I am in India. I have given the method below.

 You can prepare it very easily. Or you can drink two spoons of papaya leaf
 extract in the morning.

 Procedure:
 Dry papaya leaves completely.
 Add cumin seeds and little black pepper and powder the dried papaya leaves.
 Keep it safe in a container.

 Add water to spoon full of papaya leaf powder and boil it.
 Filter it and drink warm.

 regards,
 Ragavan

Hi Again Angie,
Now it makes sense, so you are also blessed (yea right) with Lupus. Yes that 
makes things more interesting. However you are also fighting your way through 
it and I take my Zavies zero number one hat off to you. I hope that you know 
what I'm talking about.
Anyway I don't necessarily recommend  papaya tea extract but you already 
ordered it so you can start off with that, but I just sent you a site from 
Puritans Pride with a lot of information. Please read it.
18's,
Marty
Thanks, Marty. I have ordered organic papaya leaf tea and will mix it as 
Ragavan suggests. My excitement for this week was a silent heart attack. I 
missed it. Felt nothing at all. Felt great all week. A blood test revealed a 
high level of Troponins in my blood and they got all excited and kept me in 
hospital for 3 days doing various tests. I will learn the results this week. I 
see a platelet specialist tomorrow. Maybe he will have more words of wisdom. I 
am  really happy to hear that you recommend papaya tea also and that it works. 
I had 9 platelets on Friday  (normal level 150-450) and my hemoglobinhad 
dropped into the low 80's. This seems to be an ongoing battle as my lupus tries 
to kill my body one cell at a time.Wishing all the best to you! 18's~

Hi Angie,
Please read this about the effects to not only your platelet counts but also 
your red cell count. Ragavan gave you some valuable advice but you need to find 
the best supplement that contains the best form of Papya leaf extract. By the 
way when I had my bone marrow transplant one of my friends got me some of it 
and it did work.
Let me do some research and get back to you. In the meantime you must be 
extremely careful not to injure your self. don't walk around barefoot or even 
use slippers. It will not offer any protection if you should stub one of your 
toes. I know all about that because it happened to me.
OK on to some research. By the way I am slowly starting to recover from the 
Staff infection in my lungs. I have a picc line and wear an infusion pump 24/7 
for the next few weeks.
I will get back to you

Procedure:
Dry papaya leaves completely.
Add cumin seeds and little black pepper and powder the dried papaya leaves.
Keep it safe in a container.

Add water to spoon full of papaya leaf powder and boil it.
Filter it and drink warm.

Please take care. Because low platelet counts need more self care. My
counts also went low. But my oncologist stops the medicine once it reaches
low and then allows to recover to restart the medicine.

I didnt know organic papaya leaf tea is available readily made. I collect
Papaya leaves from friends and make the powder at home.

Hope your platelet counts improve soon.

Hi Angie,

I am back with some important information for you

There is a company called Puritans Pride that sells exactly what I am
talking about. But one and get a total of three for only $13.95. They also
sell six bottles buy just buy the three for now and give it some time and
see how it works on you.

http://www.puritan.com/papaya-enzymes-129/chewable-super-papaya-enzyme-plus-000982

Also I think that you might want to find out the root cause of your low
platelet count. I am betting on the TKI your on now. Depending on what your
PCR shows your doctor may think about lowering your dose, or in the future
think about switching you to another TKI.

I would also get in contact with Dr. Brian Druker and or Dr. Moshie Talpaz
for their advice.

I hope that I was able to help you out.
I believe that if you help someone then it will come back to you when you
really need it.

Maybe my kidney transplant? Maybe my bone marrow transplant? Who knows but
no matter what I will still dedicate my life to try and help people if I
possibly can.

Now you know why I always end with 18's (life)

Marty

Hi Angie 
I don't remember my number either.   It took so long for me to teach pcr.  I 
finally reached it on Sprycel. If anybody has the list please let us know.  
Hang in there!!

 Hi Again Angie,
 
 Now it makes sense, so you are also blessed (yea right) with Lupus. Yes 
 that makes things more interesting. However you are also fighting your way 
 through it and I take my Zavies zero number one hat off to you. I hope that 
 you know what I'm talking about.
 
 Anyway I don't necessarily recommend  papaya tea extract but you already 
 ordered it so you can start off with that, but I just sent you a site from 
 Puritans Pride with a lot of information. Please read it.
 
 18's,
 
 Marty
 
 Thanks, Marty. I have ordered organic papaya leaf tea and will mix it as 
 Ragavan suggests. My excitement for this week was a silent heart attack. I 
 missed it. Felt nothing at all. Felt great all week. A blood test revealed a 
 high level of
 Troponins in my blood and they got all excited and kept me in hospital for 3 
 days doing various tests. I will learn the results this week. I see a 
 platelet specialist tomorrow. Maybe he will have more words of wisdom. I am  
 really happy to hear that you recommend papaya tea also and that it works. I 
 had 9 platelets on Friday  (normal level 150-450) and my hemoglobin
 had dropped into the low 80's. This seems to be an ongoing battle as my lupus 
 tries to kill my body one cell at a time.
 Wishing all the best to you! 18's~

 Hi Angie,
 
 Please read this about the effects to not only your platelet counts but also 
 your red cell count. Ragavan gave you some valuable advice but you need to 
 find the best supplement that contains the best form of Papya leaf extract. 
 By the way when I had my bone marrow transplant one of my friends got me some 
 of it and it did work.
 
 Let me do some research and get back to you. In the meantime you must be 
 extremely careful not to injure your self. don't walk around barefoot or even 
 use slippers. It will not offer any protection if you should stub one of your 
 toes. I know all about that because it happened to me.
 
 OK on to some research. By the way I am slowly starting to recover from the 
 Staff infection in my lungs. I have a picc line and wear an infusion pump 
 24/7 for the next few weeks.
 
 I will get back to you
 
 18's,
 
 Marty

Please take care. Because low platelet counts need more self care. My counts 
also went low. But my oncologist stops the medicine once it reaches low and 
then allows to recover to restart the medicine.

I didnt know organic papaya leaf tea is available readily made. I collect 
Papaya leaves from friends and make the powder at home.

I live in Chennai, which is a metro city in south of India.

Hope your platelet counts improve soon.

Re: [CMLHope] Platelets

2015-05-17 Thread Gopalsamy Ragavan
I have problems with platelet count. Diagnosed in 2012 Started with
Gleevec. Now with Sprycel. With Sprycel, platelet counts go down. Started
with 140mg per day and now taking 50mg per day. One moth of Sprycel
medication and two months rest for platelet recovery. This is how current
medication is going on. I take papaya leaf tea everyday to improve
platelets.

 Does anyone have problems maintaining their platelet level?
 Mine fall down to almost ZERO, which is a dangerous place to be. I am
 covered with big purple bruises and petechiae and look like I have been in
 a bar fight. Even a light scratch on my skin brings the blood to the
 surface. It is called Thrombocytopenia. My red cells also plummet and I had
 6 blood transfusions  last week.
 My confidence waivers a little as it seems they don't really know what to
 do about me. I have lots of complications. More specialists on the horizon,
 but every step forward is followed by 3 steps back. I am on massive
 prednisone for the moment.
 Can anyone share  info on this?
