Platelets are at 968 today down from 1024 on Tuesday so I only took 3 pills...so not bad! I go back in a week for another vampire visit! I'm still on 500mg 1xday. The only side effect so far I've noticed is my energy level is down, compensating with caffiene though My wbc and rbc count stayed the same, just platelets were affected. My doc's office keeps switching drs on me, thinking about changing to another Cancer Center. Will let you know what next weeks counts are...Thanks! Mimi
