[PHI Redacted] being diagnosed with ITP has been very stressful on the family. Sometimes other drugs like Rituxin and Predinose do not work and a splenectomy is called for. The only down side is that a lot of people are not good surgical candidates...like [PHI Redacted]. Having more medicines on the market could give people more options for treatment and would be much more cost effective when a splenectomy has the potential in some patients to cause other very adverse side effects or death. I would like to see more treatments available for people dealing with ITP. Not everyong responds well to all treatments. We need more options.
