Hi Fern,

Thanks for your reply.
Surprising enough, she just started papaya leaf extract for this very matter. They use it in dengue fever patients so the thought process was the same.

My only question is it better to let her naturally get back up above 75k and delay the dose for another few weeks? Or give her a boost with a transfusion so she can get the dose sooner. I'm just worried about her having to wait 5-6 weeks between doses instead of the recommended 3 week interval.
