He has handled his meds pretty well during the first 8 months of treatment but recently has been having difficulty. His counts have been crashing a lot and he is numbers are starting to show possible problems with his liver. I know kids with DS can be more sensitive to methotrexate and some of the other drugs. What side effects do your kids show with sensitivity to the drugs? Does just the ANC drop or does the hmg and platelets also drop significantly? Have any of your kids required transfusions because of low counts during LTM (when they were not sick)? I've just been so worried about him lately because his hmg is low and went down and not up after his last hold. I'm just curious if this happens to any of your kids. Thanks for any feedback!
