Hematologists: Have the answer, I trust you are under the care of one the esperts, and it's your right to seek another opinion, Rhogam and splenectomy can still be an option, but that's case dependent, not every case warrants such treatment. Stick with the experts, wish you wellness

ITP: Your treatments do sound effective. I would also suggest a treatment to maintain a long-term response. I would see a rheumatologist. Rituxan has been used as well.
