Ipilimumab and Low Platelets?

Not sure how much this will help, but from what I have read there is no special problem
associated with a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) and ipilimumab. However, a
number of medications such as chemo can cause this. For info on treatments see:

I recall you mentioning low counts in the past. As far back as April even.

There are several ways to raise counts. Discuss your situation and history with your doctor.

I have been experiencing very low HGB while on Ipi and am just about to undergo my third blood transfusion in the past 7-8 weeks. The Drs suspect it is internal bleeding, but no one has been able to find the source. I wonder if it is Ipi-related. I also had my HGB collapse while I was on IL-2 earlier this year, but it rectified itself over the following months. This time it is more predictable, falling about 1.5 points every two weeks. I had my last Ipi infusion last week so I'm hoping one way or another things improve.
