We had my dad see a 3rd doctor last week. He is on Thalidimine and a new doctor said maybe we can try chemotherapy to help stimulate his red blood count. Today he is very weak--Red blood count is 8.7 and he will have a blood tran tomorrow. His spleen is large, but, his dr. said he needs to keep this because it does help make some blood. If it gets too large, they can put radiation on it to shrink it. He has been very weak lately but the new dr. in Philly says we can try new options. I hope this helps. DeannaMarie
Yesterday my Mother was released from the hospital and told she cannot work anylonger. We are packing her us to take her back to Mississippi. Her primary Hemo is on vacation and will not return to Philly until Monday. We want her to receive a second opinion today or tomorrow!!! We need a doctor now
She cannot make red blood cells on her on. She has received 30 unitsof blood over a recent period. She has fribroid tissue in her boon marrow she makes no red blood cells on her own.
